All,

Every now and then, all of my hosts go red on conn and fail, then come
right back up. Below is and excerpt from bb-network.log. As you can
see, it's at no
set time, no set date, it just plain fails. Any thoughts?

2006-03-06 23:20:29 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with 
error-code 98
2006-03-06 23:20:29 Cannot open fping output file
The "code 98" is an internal code used by Hobbit when it fails to
open two files that we use to pick up the output from fping. These
go in ~hobbit/data/tmp/ directory, and are called fping-std{out,err}.PID

Perhaps you're short of diskspace ?
