[hobbit] CONN status is white for all hosts

[Frank M. Ramaekers]

I tried that and it didn't help:

 

2007-12-19 14:09:19 Could not run the command '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae'
(exec failed)

2007-12-19 14:09:19 hobbitping invocation failed: Permission denied

 

/etc/group

 

adm:x:4:root,adm,daemon,hobbit

 

From the message, it appears that hobbitping cannot invoke fping.  But,
from the permissions:

 

-rwsr-x--- 1 root adm    35281 Mar  7  2007 /usr/sbin/fping 

-rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 71927 Apr 13  2007
/usr/libexec/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping



Hobbit can run hobbitping and will be come root and thus could run
fping?   So, I'm still at a loss...

I didn't say anything about user name - only the group or global.

Your options are...

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root adm 35281 Mar  7  2007 /usr/sbin/fping
-rwsr-x--- 1 root adm 35281 Mar  7  2007 /usr/sbin/fping #add hobbituser
to group adm 
-rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 35281 Mar  7  2007 /usr/sbin/fping #add
hobbituser to group adm

fping has to bet suid root so it can run.. there should be something in
fping doc on how to do this.

	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
