I'm pretty sure that program needs to be setuid root. Googling for that and fping and Xymon should turn up some more info.

I just installed 4.3.20 on CentOS 6.6 'xymonnet' is RED on the server
The message is /usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae failed with error-code 4 /usr/local/sbin/fping: can't create raw socket (must be run as root?): operation not permitted
The permissions for fping in the directory are: -rwxr-xr-x. root root fping
Where is 'fping' called in xymon? Should I just use the xymon ping - if so, do I have to reinstall or is there an easy way to change over to it?
I previously (last week) installed 4.3.19 on CentOS 6.6 (also running Asterisk/PBX-in-a-Flash see earlier discussions) with no such problems. So I changed out the HDD and started from scratch with the latest version to have the latest patches installed.
I again followed the same CentOS installation script install.html on sourceforge.net<http://sourceforge.net>.
Not much use without the 'pinging'.
