User with the right to ping (nothing else)

Hi!

I want to create a user for my monitoring-system, that is able to do remote pings.

--> Created user with only the right to login via telnet and "test"

Now, the user can login, but gets:
ping 8.8.8.8
  SEQ HOST                                     SIZE TTL TIME  STATUS

not enough permissions (9)
I had to add "read", but I do not want the user to be able to read the config.
Can you give me a hint on how to create such a limited user?

Thank you
Stril

Hello.

If you are making these changes for a user rather than a system you could look at creating a custom 'skin' for that user. viewtopic.php?t=52184

Strip out all other options/ menu items apart from the ability to ping.

Hi!

I want to let the user connect via SSH to execute a remote-ping, but ping AND flood-ping seem to depend on "read"-right.

Is there any workaround?
