[hobbit] Some newbie help
Otherwise, check your sudoers file and see if wheel is the following
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
If it is, then when you setup hobbit server (doing the ./configure -server) when it asks about the command for fping, put in sudo fping instead.

As root, you need to change the owner of "fping" to root and the permissions to 4755.

Can anyone help out a Linux newb with this error?
Execution of '/usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae' failed - program not suid root?
I am migrating our monitoring from BB installed on Windows to Hobbit on Linux. I was able to successfully install FC4, all of the Hobbit subcomponents, and Hobbit. Just this one error has me stumped. I thought I corrected it by adding hobbit to the WHEEL group on FC and then editing sudoers file to uncomment WHEEL, but I still have the error.

Adam,
I got it working with Jim's solution. When I setup hobbit I simply ran ./configure. For future reference, and seeing as how I want to install a client on an OS X machine, should I specify the ./configure -server and -client?

Once the server is up and running, for every other physical machine you want to monitor, run configure-client (only).
You should know: the user set up that's going to run hobbit on the client - hobbit works well :D the IP of the machine where the hobbit server was installed
the configure-client will ask you for these things when it runs and fill in the .cfg apropriately. If you tell it the name of an existing user (like say, 'hobbit') it will find it and stuff the client files into that homedir.

Rob,
Thank you. I must say that this is a great list. BB lists are DEAD compared to the activity here. I love the fact that posts have replies within minutes!
Thank you all!
Dave
