fping sends 4 ping probes: One initial probe, and 3 retries.

There's no more debugging to add. The --debug option should leave the 
fping logs in the ~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory, so any error output
from fping will be saved there.

The bbretest-net.sh script runs bbtest-net, so you can use the same
options there. If you define the FPING setting with debug options for
fping, then those will also be used by the re-tests.

No.
