I am using 4.2.0 stable, no patches for the office network and 4.2.0
all-in-one patch at home.
Here's what other people are using:

On both my servers I got complaints about /var/log/messages not being
readable (red, IIRC). Can't explain why it didn't complain for you, sorry.
I don't use sudo but I believe if you simply give the permissions of the
"hobbit user" to read/execute /usr/sbin/fping you shouldn't have to worry
about sudo when executing the command via Hobbitmon.

Do y'all typically run the "stable" version of Hobbit, 4.2.0, downloaded
from SourceForge, or do many of you run a more recent version?
I noticed that a permission failure on /var/log/messages doesn't produce a
"yellow" on my version.
Anyone have proper SUDO settings that enable the hobbit server to run fping
with no password, and the hobbit clients to read a root only readable
/var/log/messages? Can you just run "fping" without putting "sudo" in front
of the command, if you've got the proper settings in /etc/sudoers?
