xymonnet version 4.3.7 Shows red. New-ish install. Has been red all along.
Found this on the page details:
"Error output:
Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed - program not suid root?
This program can only be run by root, or it must be setuid root."
I find fping in /usr/sbin. It works logged in as root if I specify a host name
or IP, even a bogus one (for latter, it reports "address not found".
However, if I do not specify a host (just do "fping") it appears to hang. I did
not wait for hours, just a couple of minutes.
But that is not likely the cause, because if I say
su - xymon -c "/usr/sbin/fping -Ae something" I get"
"This program can only be run by root, or it must be setuid root."
Have I missed a step in setting up? Or am I still sleeping?
