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...

I didn't say anything about user name - only the group or global.

Your options are...

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping -rwsr-x--- 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping #add hobbituser to group adm -rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping #add hobbituser to group adm

fping has to bet suid root so it can run.. there should be something in fping doc on how to do this.

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

I've just got through installing a fresh version of hobbit and

now everything looks great except for the "conn" status which is showing up white and showing "Hobbit system error".
