[hobbit] passing options to fping command

I'd like to increase the retry count for fping from the default of 3 to 5-6, and I'm not sure my change is taking effect.

In hobbitserver.cfg, I've passed "-r5" to the FPING variable.

FPING="/usr/sbin/fping -r5"

Checking the bb-network.log file, it appears that fping is still using the default flags "OrdAstILe":

status hostname.conn green <!-- [flags:OrdAstILe] --> Wed Jul 26 10:44:20 2006 conn ok

That "flags" entry is something completely different. It's a debugging tool I've left in to help with troubleshooting network connections. It has nothing to do with the fping options.
