[hobbit] CONN status is white for all hosts

[Josh Luthman]

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
