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
