Well every *nix machine I've seen that is not Knoppix always has had...

-> ls -l `which ping`
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root root 33272 Jan  1  2006 /bin/ping*

 Yes.   I was su'ed as root and just 'service hobbit restart'.   Still the
same problem.  I notice in my previous installation I simply turn-on world
execute:


-rwsr-x--x 1 root adm 29850 Feb 16  2005 fping


But I don't think that is the proper solution, although probably not a
problem in my case since my system will not have "real" users.


Thanks,

 I tried that and it didn't help:

Did you stop and restart hobbit after changing the /etc/group file??  If
you start it in a terminal window, you'll probably need to logout and log
back in.
