Could you grab the latest snapshot, and in your hobbitserver.cfg set

FPING="$BBHOME/bin/hobbitping --responses=3"

This will make hobbitping report the average round-trip time for 3 pings, like fping does. I would be interested to know if that helps, and if it has any other consequences (like hosts being reported as "down" when they are really up).

I've been fighting a problem with false conn failures in 4.1.2p1 and I thought I'd try hobbitping to see if it helps. I'm not completely sure that I actually switched from fping to hobbitping, though, because I'm still seeing fping-std* files in server/tmp (as a result of "CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --debug" in hobbitlaunch.cfg.). Is fping in the filenames coming from the fping program itself, or are the files named that way b/c hobbit still calls hobbitping 'fping' because of the variable setting in hobbitserver.cfg?

I built hobbitping from today's snapshot, into my server/bin/ directory, and make it suid root (4755, with root:bb ownership). Is there anything else I need to modify?

Thanks, Tom
