Dude on CentOS - ping probe not working

Running dude with wine on CentOS release 6.5 (Final) - Working OK but have one problem, probes like CPU, Disk, Wireless_Probe work OK - not working is ping it reports “local problem”

It is plain not working as I am right informed. :frowning:
One of my wishes for a long time to own a Linux hardened such as CentOS
and a natively running version from “The DUDE” on it, as a program and as
a service related to tte circumstances that Linux is a real 24/7 OS and also
other things can be installed also on this machine (admin console) like
WireShark, TCPDUMP, NetIO and so on. Also the RAM and CPU can be greater
and stronger as inside of an WindowsXP PC and on top it can be installed on
very small machines liek the brand new Alix APU or a Soekirs net6501.

Perhaps they are willing to do so I would paying also a license fee starting
from 100 € to something around of 250 € for such a program like The DUDE!!!

CentOS rocks!

Dude is working on CentOS but my issue is the probe ping is not working , I disabled firewall and issue remains, as mentioned other probe services like CPU, Disk, and Wireless_Probe work OK

Ping “local problem” issues generally trace to insufficient permissions.

In native Windows land, the Dude requires Local Administrator permission to the box it’s running on in order to send pings.

I would assume that translates to the Dude process requiring root-level access (for at least the networking processes) to send pings – it’s using ICMP pings, so the same permissions restrictions that apply to other Linux services sending ICMP should apply to the Dude.

that is correct, running Dude server as root (or via sudo variant) will fix this problem.

Also, it is possible to play with kernel permissions to allow dude to access these restricted commands

It’s a pity Mikrotik which uses a variant of Linux for ROS has windows platform of Dude for network monitoring and does not have a Linux version, as trying to run dude as root under Wine may not be easy?
