I just installed 4.3.20 on CentOS 6.6
'xymonnet' is RED on the server

The message is /usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae failed with error-code 4
/usr/local/sbin/fping:  can't create raw socket (must be run as root?):
operation not permitted

The permissions for fping in the directory are:
-rwxr-xr-x. root root fping

Where is 'fping' called in xymon?
Should I just use the xymon ping - if so, do I have to reinstall or is
there an easy way to change over to it?

I previously (last week) installed 4.3.19 on CentOS 6.6 (also running
Asterisk/PBX-in-a-Flash see earlier discussions) with no such problems.
So I changed out the HDD and started from scratch with the latest version
to have the latest patches installed.

I again followed the same CentOS installation script install.html on
sourceforge.net.

Not much use without the 'pinging'.

Thanks
