Subject: dec_osf suid $>
When running a suid script under OSF, the user id ($>) is not set to 0. Net::Ping will then abort on croak("icmp ping requires root privilege") if ($> and $^O ne 'VMS' and $^O ne 'cygwin'); I suggest this line would include "and $^O ne 'dec_osf'" in order to support tru64 OS. Show quoted text
> uname -a
OSF1 hostname V4.0 1530 alpha Let me know if you need further information. Thanks.
Tru64 would have been hard to come by when this ticket was opened. Now, I'm guessing all but impossible.
