Hi,<br>
<br>
Been where you are at... Hobbit needs a mail server/client and it does<br>
get set up separately. Most distros (might be helpful if you share which<br>
you are running) install sendmail by default (my centos did) but you do<br>
have to configure it; if yours did not it is usually fairly easy to<br>
install and then google something like: howto setup sendmail and then<br>
kind of piece it together for your environment. Mine was straight<br>
forward for sending and it got a little more complicated for receiving<br>
when I got to acknowledgments via e-mail.<br>
<br>
I cheated and changed the permissions on fping so that everyone had<br>
permissions to execute and it fixed all my issues.<br>
<br>
I hope it helps and don't give up I love Hobbit and I got to learn a<br>
bunch of Linux stuff that has opened a whole new world of possibilities<br>
even though I still bleed Microsoft blue :-)<br>
<br>
BTW something called webmin is a God send to configure anything in linux<br>
for someone who is a newbie like myself.<br>
<br>
Thank You,<br>
<br>

OK, so hobbit runs using user 'bb'.<br>
<br>
Which fping returns "/usr/local/sbin/fping"<br>
Ls -l `which fping` returns (-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 73958 Sep 22 2004<br>
/usr/local/sbin/fping)<br>
<br>
Is this what you thought??<br>
<br>
Why do you think other ping tests seem to work??<br>
<br>
Does hobbit install an smtp server or client *OR* is this something<br>
setup separately??<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dave<br>

I work mostly with Solaris, so I am not sure what really works on your<br>
Linux system, but...<br>
<br>
A) you can maybe run "top" from a terminal and look for processes with<br>
"hobbit" in their name. A similar, more focused method would be to run<br>
"ps -ef | grep hobbit" and see what gets listed. My *guess* is that a<br>
user called "hobbit" may have created as part of the package<br>
installation?<br>
<br>
B) Josh probably meant for you to use the "backticks" instead of double<br>
quotes on the command. You can do it in two steps by running $ which<br>
fping followed by $ ls -l <whatever which returns> -- the point is to<br>
see if your fping has been setuid to root, which would allow a<br>
non-privileged user to run fping. Normally Hobbit runs as a<br>
non-privileged user.<br>
<br>
I don't know what to say about the mailer issue, other than if this is a<br>
new system someone may have set up a bogus mail forwarder, or it might<br>
be using DNS to find a forwarder for a specific domain.<br>

Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
How do I know if hobbit is using fping?? Root was able to use fping.<br>
Hobbit user can not. Actually, how do I know what user is for hobbit??<br>
<br>
The 216.20.121.4 is not an smtp server and I received a connection<br>
refused.<br>
<br>
Ls -l "which fping" <-- says no such file or directory<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dave<br>

Are you using fping? Can the hobbit user run fping? Seems like you<br>
have to do some fiddling because fping requires root, and the symptom is<br>
red connectivity tests for everything in the bb-hosts file. This is a<br>
dim memory from when I first set up Hobbit several years ago...<br>

Hi Josh,<br>
<br>
Issue 1 - Now, if I look at status page, the status is red, but I can<br>
ping the ip from the hobbit server<br>
<br>
Bb-hosts for this test is as follows:<br>
216.20.63.145 mec-dns1 # NET:brutus<br>
216.20.63.147 mec-dns2 # NET:brutus<br>

Issue 1 - what is your hobbit-alert.conf<br>
<br>
Issue 2 - no hobbit uses the mail command. Can you give us more detail<br>
as to what the email error is?<br>
