Can you do a
grep -i ping ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
then tell us what the FPING= is declared as, please?

Seems that I CAN do that:
# su - hobbit
-bash-3.1$ /usr/sbin/fping 4.2.2.2
4.2.2.2 is alive
-bash-3.1$
and
# sudo -u hobbit fping 4.2.2.2
4.2.2.2 is alive
So, perhaps it has to do with hobbitping?

Do an su hobbit
Then try /usr/sbin/fping 4.2.2.2 and see if you can execute it there.

I tried that and it didn't help:

Did you stop and restart hobbit after changing the /etc/group file?? If
you start it in a terminal window, you'll probably need to logout and log
back in.
