It occurred to me to check the httpd server logs.  Indeed, there was  
a relevant entry in the error_log, which I've pasted below.  (I've  
obfuscated the IP addresses and hostnames.)

[Wed Oct 10 15:59:41 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.10] [Wed Oct 10  
15:59:41 2007] smokeping.cgi [client 127.0.0.10]: Could not update / 
tmp/smokeping-ms/data//Artoo.slave_cache: Permission denied at /usr/ 
local/smokeping-2.2.4/lib/Smokeping/Master.pm line 126.

Here are the contents of my /tmp/smokeping-ms/data directory:
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2986808 Oct 10 15:54 Artoo~threepio.rrd
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2986808 Oct 10 15:59 Artoo.rrd
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2986808 Oct 10 15:54 Threepio~artoo.rrd
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2986808 Oct 10 15:59 Threepio.rrd

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    4096 Oct  2 15:44 Test/

Note that there is no /tmp/smokeping-ms/data//Artoo.slave_cache  
file.  That would explain why smokeping can't open it. :-)  Should  
there be such a .slave_cache file?  What is going wrong here?

Thanks,
