Subject: [smokeping-users] Master - Slave Config problem
Hello All,
I’m not able to finish the config of a Master – Slave pair of Smokeping.
Master is working fine while the slave configuration is not working with the below eror:
ERROR: the shared secret file (/var/smokeping/secret.txt) is world-readable or writable at /usr/share/perl5/Smokeping.pm line 4109.
Please help me and let me know if you need more info
