permissions of /etc/resolv.conf are wrong

[Omer Akram]

cannot use any application that use internet on the daily cd of 27th September unless run the app from terminal using sudo. nor can i ping without sudo.

as a work around
sudo chown username /etc/resolv.conf

This is strange. src/resolver.conf correct sets the permissions on resolv.conf via the call:
fd = open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH);
This should make the file RW for owner, and R for everyone else. However the actual permissions on the file are RW owner only.
Maybe it has something to do with ext4?

Anyway, the workaround was to add:
chmod ("/etc/resolv.conf", S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH );
after the open, and this seems to do the trick and set the correct permissions.

This is in the current image, and permissions on /etc/resolv.conf are correct now, so marking it fix released. However, web browser at least still does not seem to work.
