Hi all

on a new Hobbit server (running CentOS 5.0 w/ Hobbit 4.2.0 + allinone patch), ping tests always fail when run from hobbitlaunch.cfg, but they do work when run by hand... SSH, HTTP tests work as expected, and this problem occurs whether I use "sudo fping" or "hobbitping".

Here's the entry I'm using in hobbitlaunch.cfg :

[bbnet] ENVFILE /home/hobbituser/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD bbtest-net --report --debug --ping --sslwarn=60 --sslalarm=30 --concurrency=25 --dns=ip LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log INTERVAL 5m

/var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log returns the following :

[...] Command: bbtest-net '--report' '--debug' '--ping' '--sslwarn=60' '--sslalarm=30' '--concurrency=25' '--dns=ip' [...] 2007-09-14 15:54:42 Adding to combo msg: status lxtrapubr3.conn red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Fri Sep 14 15:54:31 2007 conn NOT ok 2007-09-14 15:54:42 Adding to combo msg: status lxtrapubr2.conn red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Fri Sep 14 15:54:31 2007 conn NOT ok 2007-09-14 15:54:42 Adding to combo msg: status lxtrapubr1.conn red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Fri Sep 14 15:54:31 2007 conn NOT ok 2007-09-14 15:54:42 Adding to combo msg: status lxtrapubp3.conn red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Fri Sep 14 15:54:31 2007 conn NOT ok 2007-09-14 15:54:42 Adding to combo msg: status lxtrapubp2.conn red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Fri Sep 14 15:54:31 2007 conn NOT ok 2007-09-14 15:54:42 Adding to combo msg: status lxtrapubp1.conn red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Fri Sep 14 15:54:31 2007 conn NOT ok

When run by hand, the test succeeds :

Thanks in advance for any clue...
