[hobbit] conn test fails / comes back

[Stephane Caminade]

I can run without any problem the bbtest-net command, under the hobbit 
account, and get all the fping results.
The fping file is suid as well.
And since once in a while it works and manages to collect results (from 
hobbit), I m not sure that is the problem.
