>Are the rrd permissions correct? They should be. IN fact, I have several probes going on: fping, smtp and dns. Only the tcpping one does not work.

The --debug-daemon is of little help, as it generates indo only at startup, and no line of this info contains the string "tcp". On the other hand, I am not sure I have the correct tcpping program, as the links in the online documentation are obsolete. I suggest that the Debian package ships with a working tcpping implementation.
