Hi,
Running HS V4.12 on a Debian VM. Not a a version that you can download here.
Everything works for years.
Few versions back Gira changed the permissions that the hs_main process no longer runs under root.
Preventing to create RAW sockets
This is making that ping with this building block is not working.
Gira had the same issue in V4.9.
Not sure how they solved it that raw socket is allowed again.

Getting this error.
File “<12242_Hostcheck_0>”, line 238, in _ping_receiver
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py”, line 191, in __init__
_sock = _realsocket(family, type, proto)
error: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
Need Root!!!!

Tried al off these, but not one seems to resolve my issue.

Someone who has the magic answer to make it work?

Could you try to run hs_main under root? The hs_main is run from a boot script. Maybe you can set the SUID bit (S_ISUID).

chmod u+s hs_main

This will execute the hs_main process (no matter who calls it) under the owner of that process. So if you make ‘root’ the owner, then the hs_main will be executed as root. Now it should be able to create raw sockets.

Let me know if it works!
