I tried that and it didn't help:
2007-12-19 14:09:19 Could not run the command '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae'
(exec failed)
2007-12-19 14:09:19 hobbitping invocation failed: Permission denied
/etc/group
adm:x:4:root,adm,daemon,hobbit
From the message, it appears that hobbitping cannot invoke fping. But,
from the permissions:
-rwsr-x--- 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping
-rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 71927 Apr 13 2007
/usr/libexec/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping
Hobbit can run hobbitping and will be come root and thus could run
fping? So, I'm still at a loss...

I didn't say anything about user name - only the group or global.
Your options are...
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping
-rwsr-x--- 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping #add hobbituser
to group adm
-rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping #add
hobbituser to group adm

fping has to bet suid root so it can run.. there should be something in

Modify the permissions so that the hobbit user can execute
fping!
Assuming your hobbit user is "hobbit" you'll need to either a)
change the group owner of /usr/sbin/fping to hobbit or b) add hobbit to
group adm or c) make it so everyone can r-x /usr/sbin/fping

I've just got through installing a fresh version of hobbit and

everything looks great except for the "conn" status which is
