Hi, try 'smokeping --debug', it shows the exact fping commandline that smokeping invokes. Then try running it from the shell, there should be no difference then to the Smokeping behaviour. Otherwise strange forces are at work... Maybe the firewall is rate-limiting the ICMP traffic? I don't know how smart APF is. Or perhaps it marks the packets based on the user generating them - is smokeping running as root too? If not, try running fping manually as the same user as smokeping and see if you get the same behaviour Smokeping exhibits.
