What's the ping command set to in your server configuration file? are you using the 'xymonping' command or 'fping'? Make sure that which ever command you are using has the sticky bit set on the actual executable to allow the xymon user to run it.

It is set to use fping. The pathname is correct, and the sticky bit is set. I have run fping from the Xymon server as the xymon user and it works fine:

=============================== xymon 17: fping -Ae 141.163.1.250 141.163.177.1 141.163.1.250 is alive (0.43 ms) 141.163.177.1 is alive (0.35 ms)
