[SOLVED] spine and ICMP ping issues (version 0.8.8b)

[duffrecords]

When I switch the poller from cmd.php to spine, some hosts' statuses changed to "down" even though the device pages show "ICMP Ping Success." When using cmd.php everything works correctly, although it is much slower than spine, obviously. Initially, ICMP ping was failing because SELinux did not allow Apache to run the ping command. SELinux is now disabled, against my better judgement, so that's no longer a factor. Why do the hosts appear to be down when the device pages say ICMP ping was successful?

I fixed it by adding the setuid bit to spine.

Code: Select all

chmod +s /usr/bin/spine

I wish I could use spine with SELinux enabled, though.
