Hi Niko

I am trying the trunk. but got a few issues:

On the slaves I get:

[root at rs6 ~]# /usr/local/smokeping/bin/smokeping --slave-name=rs6
--master-url=http://XXX/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi --cache-dir=/tmp
--shared-secret=/usr/local/smokeping/etc/secret.txt
WARNING: I expected protocol 2 and got ? from slave rs6. I will skip this.

ERROR: we did not get config form the master. Maybe we are not configured as
a slave for any of the targets on the master ?

And on the master on starting I get:

Mar 27 18:47:22 smokeping smokeping[29443]: Use of uninitialized value in
numeric eq (==) at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/Smokeping.pm line 3983. 
Mar 27 18:47:22 smokeping smokeping[29443]: No targets defined for probe
FPingBig, skipping.

The line is:

               if ($probes->{$p}->target_count == 0) {

Thanks

David

No, I think it's a bug, and I think I fixed it in the development
version. You might want to try the snapshot at

If you do, please report back.
