[smokeping-users] Master - Slave Config problem

Mine is 640, user and group is smokeping.  Don't forget to set it the same on the slaves.
I don't think smokeping will run unless it is set correctly.

Hello Lee, 



Thanks for the reply. 



Ok what should I set it to, maybe 440. 



Also, would that make it not work or just insecure? 




Thanks in advance

Hello, 



Have you set your permissions on /var/smokeping/secret.txt to 777 or similar ?, you need to alter the ownership and permissions on this file to ensure it is secure.

Hello All, 



I’m not able to finish the config of a Master – Slave pair of Smokeping. 



Master is working fine while the slave configuration is not working with the below eror: 

ERROR: the shared secret file (/var/smokeping/secret.txt) is world-readable or writable at /usr/share/perl5/Smokeping.pm line 4109. 



Please help me and let me know if you need more info
