This is pretty odd, because with that FPING setting you should also
see /usr/sbin/fping in the logfile entry - it should read
2005-11-01 14:14:20 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 99

Could you check your hobbitlaunch.cfg file ? [bbnet] section should be

[bbnet]
	ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
	NEEDS hobbitd
	CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse
	LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
	INTERVAL 5m

I suspect that maybe the ENVFILE setting is missing or points to the
wrong file ...

Hrm, so you did that.


What happens if you run

   bbcmd --env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg bbtest-net --ping 

?
