 |
|
I am able to run these comands only as root:
adsl-atart
adsl-status
adsl-stop
ping
And I think that is the reason I am not being able to get internet access when runnig a web browser. |

I don't know about these adsl commands but ping has normally the set userid flag set. you can check this by doing:
It should give you something like this
| Code: | | -rws--x--x 1 root root 35728 Jul 3 09:15 /bin/ping |
If your output has an x instead of an s in -rws--x--x the set userid bit is missing. You can add it as root by issueing the command chmod u+s /bin/ping. |

The ls -l /bin/ping says what you said it would: -rws--x--x |

When you say you can't run ping unless you're root, do you mean that this happens:
| Code: |
odinsdream@farscapeone odinsdream $ ping google.com
-bash: ping: command not found
odinsdream@farscapeone odinsdream $
|
...?
Or do you mean that this happens:
| Code: |
odinsdream@farscapeone odinsdream $ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
odinsdream@farscapeone odinsdream $
|
...The first thing would be what you'd see if you really weren't able to run ping as a regular user. That's not what you should be seeing. If you're instead seeing the second thing, then ping is running fine, but it's showing you an error message about whatever you asked it to do. In the latter case, your problem is instead your network connection (which, I suspect is what's going on, seeing as your other thread deals with this)

This what happens, but only if I run it as regular user,
if I run it as root, all is fine. |

Ok, then ping is working, networking is your problem. What is in your /etc/resolv.conf ?

See if /etc/resolv.conf is readable only by root  |

Try doing: ls -alh /etc/resolv.conf
You should see: | Code: |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43 Jul 20 17:34 /etc/resolv.conf

777 means read write by all users, this also means any user could remove the file if he/she wanted it.
644 is more sane.
(that's read write, read, read)
you could also do
chmod a-x resolv.conf (remove executable bit)
chmod go-w resolv.conf (remove write for group and other) |
