[smokeping-users] hping probe

[Seth Lyons]

Smokeping runs as smokeping/smokeping.  I am debugging as the root user.  I thought that running debug ran the program with output to stdout as it normally runs, but apparently not.

I know that hping in general needs to be run as root (and that it doesn't run properly when it's setuid'd).  I'm hoping for a solution that is _not_ running smokeping as root.

What user/group does smokeping run as a daemon?  Are you debugging as root?

Looks like a permission issue with hping, what's ls -l /usr/local/sbin/hping say?
