actually the problem is not with the smokeping daemon but with the web 
part .. the daemon do the probing and populate the rrd but the web page
no longer works with the message :
Software error:
ERROR: /etc/smokeping/config, line 64: ERROR: TCPPing 'binary' does not 
point to an executable

but
awk 'NR == 64 { print $0; exit;}' config
binary = /root/bin/tcpping

with
stat /root/bin/tcpping

So, why the daemon is ok but the web part goes to error?
Thank you!!
