As root, you need to change the owner of "fping" to root and the permissions to 4755.

Can anyone help out a Linux newb with this error?
Execution of '/usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae' failed - program not suid root?
I am migrating our monitoring from BB installed on Windows to Hobbit on Linux. I was able to successfully install FC4, all of the Hobbit subcomponents, and Hobbit. Just this one error has me stumped. I thought I corrected it by adding hobbit to the WHEEL group on FC and then editing sudoers file to uncomment WHEEL, but I still have the error.
