conn test fails / comes back

Does your hobbit user account have privileges to run fping?     You'll need to set fping to suid to make that work..

Just noticed on the bbtest page this little message :

Error output:
Could not run the command 'fping -Ae' (exec failed)

Bump.

Just ran
~/BETA/server/bin$ ./bbtest-net  --ping --checkresponse --debug

All the servers have green status, however often i run this command.

I m at a loss as to the nature of the problem.

Hi,

I just upgraded to RC, and noticed a very strange thing.
When I use fping OR hobbitping, the connection test goes red, then 
green, and cycles like that for all hosts.

I made sure I had no phantom process on the machine by killing 
everything owned by the hobbit user, then starting the server from 
scratch, and all tests are fine, except for the connection test.

Any idea where that might come from ?

Thanks,
Stephane
