Resolved (Re: [hobbit] http check not working?)

[Charles Jones <jonescr (at) cisco.com>]

Someone replied to me directly, and commented how it was odd that I had 
no conn or http column on the display, and advised I check the hobbit 
logfiles. Sure enough, when I checked /var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log, I 
found this:

ld.so.1: bbtest-net: fatal: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such 
file or directory

So basically the missing (actually it was there, but was in 
/usr/local/ssl) OpenSSL libs were causing the network tests to fail.  
Once I fixed this the conn and http columns popped up and the http tests 
were working.  My conn tests were all failing, so another trip to the 
bb-network.log revealed:

2005-01-15 03:29:40 Execution of '/usr/local/sbin/fping -Ae' failed - 
program not suid root?

I set fping to suid, and now green across the board :-)  Those logfiles 
are very handy for troubleshooting.
