There are 3 files that need to be updated so that fping can be executed as root (uid=0) on Solaris by a named user, in this case the hobbit user.
The three files in question are,
/etc/user_attr
/etc/security/exec_attr
/etc/security/prof_attr
These have been updated with the following lines
/etc/user_attr
hobbit::::profiles=Hobbit Commands
/etc/security/exec_attr
Hobbit Commands:solaris:cmd:::/usr/local/sbin/fping:uid=0
/etc/security/prof_attr
Hobbit Commands:::Hobbit Commands:
