[smokeping-users] Problem with tr.cgi and traceroute location

[Peter Kristolaitis]

/usr/sbin isn't in the $PATH in the user context under which your web 
server is running.

The easiest fix is to update the user's environment to include that 
directory in their $PATH;  the other option is to modify the SmokePing 
file to explicitly point to /usr/sbin/traceroute (i.e. change 'system 
"traceroute"...' to 'system "/usr/sbin/traceroute" ...').
