Fping and suid

What is the best way to have smokeping run as it's own user.
When I tried to have it run as the user 'smoke' ,fping complained it needed
to be SUID.
How do I make it SUID ?
Thanks !

Re: Fping and suid

Depending on your OS...

When you compile (or make), and then "make install" smokeping from the
/usr/ports directory under FreeBSD, SmokePing automatically creates the
required User Account and Group.

/usr/ports/net/smokeping/make install

This is the account that was created on my Server:

emerald# cat passwd |grep smok
smokeping:*:1010:1010:SmokePing Daemon:/nonexistent:/nonexistent

and group:

emerald# cat group |grep smok
smokeping:*:1010:

Hope you come right.

Some graphs stay empty

Hi!

I'm using smokeping to monitor several hosts in our network.

+ HTTP
menu = Webserver
title = Webserver
probe = EchoPingHttp

++ www
menu = www
title = www
host = www.charite.de

++ rzdoku
menu = rzdoku
title = rzdoku
host = rzdoku.charite.de

++ ab7-intranet
menu = ab7-intranet
title = ab7-intranet
host = ab7-intranet.charite.de

++ webmail
menu = webmail.charite.de
title = webmail.charite.de
host = webmail.charite.de

++ mailman

Re: Some graphs stay empty

Hi,

Most obvious....do you allow ICMP packets to your Servers?
Check Firewall Settings... :)

BUT, If so...then:

********************************
Have you checked your logs?
Also, enable logging?
********************************

# specify this to get syslog logging
syslogfacility = local0

********************************
Is the Service running?
********************************

ps -ax |grep smo
  153  ??  Is     0:24.15 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/local/bin/smokeping

********************************
Is FPing installed and running?
********************************

*** Probes ***

+ FPing

As I've already shown, I use a HTML request which works when done from
the commandline.

Ah, I should do that.

> Is the Service running?

Did you read what I wrote? ALL graphs work EXCEPT for two.

Re: Some graphs stay empty

After reading your mail again, it is obvious that your configuration is
correct. :p

Can you ping those two servers?

Yes, and can even reach their Port 80. So why do the graphs stay empty?
I'll fire up the logging...

Re: Some graphs stay empty

That is also true. But then you will get an error message on the .cgi
screen, won't you?
