[smokeping-users] TCPPing probe doesn't generate data

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

I'm using smokeping 2.3.0 (Debian). ATCPPing probe doesn't seem to
work at all:

+ TCPPing

binary = /usr/local/scripts/tcpping
# mandatory
forks = 40
timeout = 2
# The following variables can be overridden in each target section
port = 1521

...

+ RISPACS-TCP
menu = RISPACS-TCP
title = RIS-PACS TCP Port 1521
probe = TCPPing

++ 1
menu = CBFRISDB1 (10.48.5.21)
host = 10.48.5.21
title = CBFRISDB1 DB-SYNC (10.48.5.21)

manual testing:
# /usr/local/scripts/tcpping 10.48.5.21 1521
traceroute to 10.48.5.21 (10.48.5.21), 255 hops max, 40 byte packets
seq 0: tcp response from cbfrisdb1.charite.de (10.48.5.21)  0.608 ms
traceroute to 10.48.5.21 (10.48.5.21), 255 hops max, 40 byte packets
seq 1: tcp response from cbfrisdb1.charite.de (10.48.5.21)  0.487 ms
traceroute to 10.48.5.21 (10.48.5.21), 255 hops max, 40 byte packets
seq 2: tcp response from cbfrisdb1.charite.de (10.48.5.21)  0.624 ms
traceroute to 10.48.5.21 (10.48.5.21), 255 hops max, 40 byte packets
seq 3: tcp response from cbfrisdb1.charite.de (10.48.5.21)  0.644 ms
traceroute to 10.48.5.21 (10.48.5.21), 255 hops max, 40 byte packets
seq 4: tcp response from cbfrisdb1.charite.de (10.48.5.21)  0.599 ms

What am I doing wrong?
/usr/local/scripts/tcpping is v1.6
# 2007/01/19 v1.6 catch non-root tcptraceroute
