Henrik, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The permissions looked right in the properties dialog box. I ran the commands anyway and all just came back. I'm sure I hadn't changed them.
Thanks again
Graeme

Hi all, I have been trying to install the admin scripts (0.3) and now have an alarm for bbtest and a white dot for conn on the hobbit server itself. The conn test (Ping) to the other servers at the site are normal. Everything else seems normal. The error message is
Error output: Execution of 'hobbitping -Ae' failed - program not suid root? 2008-02-18 20:28:13 Cannot get RAW socket: Operation not permitted
Like it says: Your ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping needs to be owned by root, and with suid permissions.
chown root ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping
chmod u+s ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitpingHenrik
