fping for xymon 4.3.11
list Camelia Anghel
Hello I'm getting this annoying error message for a freshly installed xymon 4.3.11. [cid:image002.png at 01CE4B27.B0342C20] Is this a bug that has to be fixed? I looked over the other error message "failed with error-code 4" .. I assigned the sticky bit, verify the 2 instances of fping.. nothing seems to work. Any ideas anybody? Thanks, Camelia

Show us the output of ls -la /usr/local/sbin/fping My guess is that you miss the sticky bit. Stef

It looks like you don't have the suid bit set on the fping executable, or it's not owned by root, or both. Thanks, Larry Barber

Hello, I think this is what you should do on your xymon server machine : chown root:xymon /usr/local/sbin/fping chmod 710 /usr/local/sbin/fping chmod ug+s /usr/local/sbin/fping Regards Milana

I don't know that I speak for others but suspect that I do -- cutting and pasting the text of the error (particularly if the error is text only, which of course it is) is far preferable to screenshots, unless of course there is a compelling reason to use graphics.

Very much so. Including screen shots can slow down how soon you get an answer, since the Xymon mailer will hold messages that are too large for moderation. Thanks, Larry Barber

Thank you so much to all your responses. Yes the sticky bit was not set. Milana, I followed your step and all is working fine now. Thank you again. Camelia

Hello,
I think this is what you should do on your xymon server machine :
chown root:xymon /usr/local/sbin/fping
chmod 710 /usr/local/sbin/fping
chmod ug+s /usr/local/sbin/fping
Regards
Milana
