           Summary: ping: permission denied. (are you root?)
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: watashi.metan at gmail.com


When running "ping somedestination" as ordinary user I get permission denied,
that's because ping needs suid bit and as far as it's symlink to bussybox
binary it just can't be done. I suggest to install iputils-ping and possibly
iputils-ping 6 packages for default installation ( to add them to installation
image ) to avoid such problems.
