[hobbit] CONN status is white for all hosts

[Hubbard, Greg L]

fping has to bet suid root so it can run.. there should be something in
fping doc on how to do this.

	Modify the permissions so that the hobbit user can execute
fping!
	
	Assuming your hobbit user is "hobbit" you'll need to either a)
change the group owner of /usr/sbin/fping to hobbit or b) add hobbit to
group adm or c) make it so everyone can r-x /usr/sbin/fping
