If I run mon as a regular user and am using fping.monitor, I get the
error about needing root permissions or running fping with setuid root.
how do you do the setuid thing?


As root: chmod +s /path/to/fping


i had the same problem before using perl's ping module and trying to do
an icmp ping...


This wouldn't be solvable without using suidperl, which introduces a whole slew of other issues.
