I have that rpm, but I think that smokeping is using the copy I built from the source (fping 2.4.2_to). I seem to remember trying both copies after the problem started and both failed. For now I will continue with the built copy and test with both copies if it fails. Then I will restart the machine networking and switch to the rpm copy.
I'll send an update when I know more. Thanks for the response, Jeff F> From: Andy Harrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hi Jeff, > > The kernel version i'm using is 2.2.16-22 on RedHat 7.0.
