A "system error" of the ping test is definitely NOT normal. Check the network test error log to see why it failed, it shouldn't do that. (Most likely it couldn't create the file where fping or hobbitping stores the results). I know, I found the culprit: 2009-03-04 00:05:47 Cannot create file /home/users/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stdout.2056 : Permission denied 2009-03-04 00:05:47 Cannot create file /home/users/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stderr.2056 : Permission denied 2009-03-04 00:05:50 xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable $BBTMP 2009-03-04 00:05:50 hobbitping child could not create outputfiles in (null) 2009-03-04 00:05:50 Cannot open ping output file /home/users/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stdout.2056
This is caused by a configure scripts that does a chown root for all hobbit files and changes the required files back to owner hobbit.
Whether a "clear" status should count as OK in the "disabled until OK" sense can be discussed. For me, OK = green. I didn't expected that a clear message would count as OK.
