I have a weird PING error in WSL2, Ubuntu 20.04 distribution. When I'm doing nslookup - all ok:
root@i:~# nslookup google.com
Server: 172.19.224.1
Address: 172.19.224.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 142.250.185.206
Name: google.com
Address: 2a00:1450:4001:830::200e
root@i:~#
When I'm pinging by address - also ok:
root@i:~# ping 142.250.185.206

But when I'm trying to PING by name - get error:
root@i:~# ping google.com
ping: google.com: System error

Strace tells me something about "access denied", but what could deny this access? Can't find anything about that.

This:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
stat("/etc/resolv.conf", 0x7ffea50eddb0) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
is really weird.
All files must be accessible:

PING run from root.
Cannot enable auditd because its WSL.
curl, traceroute, nslookup, telnet - all is working perfectly, only PING has problems.
I'm totally confused and don't know where to look and what to fix.
