advanced ping returns false on RaspberryPi Node-red

[tanayn13]

The node-red node adv ping on my raspberry pi returns only 'false' response for every host whereas the network is properly configured and some other nodes access internet service properly on the same node red flows.
Tried reboot, reinstalling node, tried difference host names, ip addresses, still same response.

Any suggestions for the issue?

On some versions on Raspbian (Raspberry Pi) ping seems to be a root only command. The fix is to allow it as follows

sudo setcap cap_net_raw=ep /bin/ping
sudo setcap cap_net_raw=ep /bin/ping6
