Re: newbie questions

Hello Again,

I re-booted the FreeSBIE LiveCd and here is the outcome from your questions.

When I ran netstat -rn, the default gateway was set up as well as the 
/etc/resolv.conf had the proper settings forthe gateway and nameserver.

When I did "ping www.yahoo.com" or even "ping 192.168.0.1" (my local 
router) as non-root user then I got a message "Ping: Socket: Operation 
Not Permitted" I also ran "startx" as non-root.

When I did "su" into root and then did my Ping tests, the I could ping 
with no problems.

so it appears to be some type of permission problem that will not let 
the non-root user FreeSBIE access the sockets for some reason.

Also, I am running the latest Alpha version of the LiveCD as well.

Cheers,
Lonnie
