Hi all,

I am able to see /dev/ip in my box. But i'm having problem with the following command,

$ ndd -get /dev/ip \?
open of /dev/ip failed: Permission denied

When I was searching for a solution in internet, I found the following workaround ....

- replace the following line in /etc/security/device_policy :
<code>ip read_priv_set=net_rawaccess write_priv_set=net_rawaccess</code>
with:
<code>ip read_priv_set=net_icmpaccess write_priv_set=net_icmpaccess</code>

But unfortunately I couldn't find the file 'device_policy' under /etc/security. I'm a

beginner and struggling to find a solution for this.

If any of you have solution please reply.

Thanks in advace,
Vijay.

If you don't want to deal with role based access control, try again as root.
