Hash: SHA1 Hi All,
I was just wondering whether someone might be able to assist me in
a
small little problem I am having with a perl application? (I know this may be somewhat off topic, but I figured you only life once, and therefor I am going to make use of the oppotunitiy :) This is coded in ActivePerl (Win32), and I am experiancing some
weird
problems in regards to sending ICMP ping packets? If I do not send the packet as a user with Administrative rights,
the
ping packet responds with a "Unknown Socket Error" message, but when I do have Administrative rights, it works perfectly... Someone dont perhaps know why / have some pointers for me as to why this is happening? Is this a restriction in Windows NT itself?? - From what I am seeing at the moment, it almost wants to look to
me
like Microsoft is denying any access to ICMP data except if the NTLM Authenticated user has Administrative rights (or perhaps some other odd setting). This is however totally upsurd, because any user is able to use the ping.exe command... If anyone has experianced similar weirdness, will you perhaps please let me know how you got to fix this? I'm really desparate... The code looks as follows:
# Do our monitoring here. These values
are unique per DB
entry. $ping = Net::Ping->new("icmp", 10); if (!($ping->ping($IPAddr))) { Notify_Mail($Email); Notify_Admins($LineNumber); }; $ping->close(); I look forward to your reply.
