Can you do a 

grep -i ping ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

then tell us what the FPING= is declared as, please?

Seems that I CAN do that:

 

# su - hobbit

-bash-3.1$ /usr/sbin/fping 4.2.2.2

4.2.2.2 is alive 

-bash-3.1$

 

and

 

# sudo -u hobbit fping 4.2.2.2

4.2.2.2 is alive 

 

So, perhaps it has to do with hobbitping?

Do an su hobbit
Then try /usr/sbin/fping 4.2.2.2 and see if you can execute it there.

Did you stop and restart hobbit after changing the /etc/group file??  If
you start it in a terminal window, you'll probably need to logout and
log back in.
