Updating iptables and ping fails in a privileged application container
Issue
- Running ping command in a privileged application container (i.e running with privileged SCC) fails with the following error.
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
- Error updating iptables:
iptables v1.8.4 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `nat': Permission denied (you must be root)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
