Fping ... 🔗 link

Hey folks,

Ok, I am fairly successful with my roll-out so far, the help here has 
been great, thanks!

So, todays issue is fping, I am getting the following out of my error logs:

2006-03-09 11:14:37 Execution of '/usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae' failed - 
program not suid root?
however when running an ls -al it shows:

-rwxrwxrwt   1 root    root      47723 Mar  7 10:53 fping


any ideas?

Whoa, that's a weird mode. Something funny going on in your server?
Check out your other binaries for odd perms. Nothing should be
world-writable.

In any case, the SUID bit can be set with:

$ chmod 4755 /usr/local/sbin/fping

HTH,

JT

Well, that's not suid root.  It should look something like
"-rwsr-xr-x".  As already mentioned, being world writable is a *bad*
thing.  You chould remove it, reinstall from source and then make it
SUID root (chmod +s).

Entirely my fault on that one, I was a bit frustrated when playing with 
this and kinda pounded on it when it was saying it could not execute, 
got past that one to the new message and never got around to changing it...

Ok, implemented and tested, looks good, thanks!
