fping problems

[J Sloan]

I need a sanity check here - running bb-1.9e-btf + bbgen-3.5

I've attempted to clone copied a bb server by copying all the files from 
one linux box to another one running the same distro and revision of the OS

I've removed all the old files from /usr/local/bbvar
I've edited $BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts to reflect the new environment
I've set fping to suid root, and the bb user can run the fping command 
with no problem

All tests work fine, with the exception of the "conn" test, which fails 
universally

This is the content of BBOUT:

What is this "error 99"?
