Feature request for EAP225-Outdoor: need to run radartool as admin
Hello forrest,
we need to be able to run the radartool command on EAP225-Outdoor to detect channel changes caused by DFS. Unfortunately, radartool doesn't work due to missing privileges for the admin user. Same problem as with new Pharos firmware for CPE/WBS (see also this thread), which until latest firmware update did allow to run radartool for many years.
Proof on EAP225-Outdoor:
$ ssh admin@192.168.17.10
BusyBox v1.20.2 (2019-07-22 17:34:17 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin $ radartool numdetects
radartool: wifi0: Operation not permitted
/bin $
This can be easily be fixed in two possible ways:
- Either grant root permissions for the admin user
- or turn on the SUID bit on the radartool executable to temporarily run this command with administrative privileges (see the explanation of SUID bit here).
Please consider to let the admin user run radartool in EAP225-Outdoor firmware. At least, an admin needs administrative privileges and business power users need to be able to run this command.
And please also inform R&D to enable radartool in Pharos firmware, too.
Thanks very much!
