[hobbit] CONN status is white for all hosts

[Josh Luthman]

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
