UNIX/Linux thing -- you have to be root to use a privileged port ( <
1024) unless SELinux gets around it. The first entry in your list below
shows the "set uid" bit has been set, which means /usr/sbin/fping will
run as root:adm no matter who launches it. Your particular Linux
distribution/package output is not necessarily representative of all
systems, Josh.
By the way, I for one admire the way you have quickly advanced from
"Hobbit newbie" to a key person who tries to help others on this list...
Happy Holidays!

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

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

everything looks great except for the
