Modify the permissions so that the hobbit user can execute fping! Assuming your hobbit user is "hobbit" you'll need to either a) change the group owner of /usr/sbin/fping to hobbit or b) add hobbit to group adm or c) make it so everyone can r-x /usr/sbin/fping

UNIX/Linux thing -- you have to be root to use a privileged port ( < 1024) unless SELinux gets around it. The first entry in your list below shows the "set uid" bit has been set, which means /usr/sbin/fping will run as root:adm no matter who launches it. Your particular Linux distribution/package output is not necessarily representative of all systems, Josh. By the way, I for one admire the way you have quickly advanced from "Hobbit newbie" to a key person who tries to help others on this list... Happy Holidays! GLH

I tried that and it didn't help: 2007-12-19 14:09:19 Could not run the command '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' (exec failed) 2007-12-19 14:09:19 hobbitping invocation failed: Permission denied /etc/group adm:x:4:root,adm,daemon,hobbit From the message, it appears that hobbitping cannot invoke fping. But, from the permissions:
▸
-rwsr-x--- 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping
-rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 71927 Apr 13 2007
/usr/libexec/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping
Hobbit can run hobbitping and will be come root and thus could run
fping? So, I'm still at a loss...

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,

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.
