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
fping doc on how to do this.

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 now
everything looks great except for the "conn" status which is showing up
white and showing "Hobbit system error".
