After some investigations, this happens only when there are VRRP addresses in the fping command line . In my example, <a href="http://10.0.254.254">10.0.254.254</a> and <a href="http://10.0.4.1">10.0.4.1</a> are virtual addresses.
<br><br>fpinging VRRP addresses works if there are fpinged alone.<br><br>Anyone see what's wrong ?<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/11/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">L B</b> <<a href="mailto:bertignac@gmail.com">
