Hello All,
Can you explain me more how to do the " install fping setuid root:" as its not
clear for me.
On the other hand, where can I find a debian package for fping3.4?
Thanks in advance

Thanks Tobi! Setuid root on the new binary did the trick. Thanks for the fast
response!

I guess you have to install fping setuid root:
chown root:root /usr/bin/fping
chmod u+s /usr/bin/fping
