Path to fping changed

[StephenKing]

Hi,

Zabbix server assumes fping to reside in /usr/sbin/fping (commented out default in zabbix_server.conf + defined as CONFIG_FPING_LOCATION).

This file (/usr/sbin/fping) was a symlink to /usr/bin/fping until Ubuntu 8.04 / Debian Lenny.

However, newer versions of Debian (-based distros), like Ubuntu 10.04+ / Debian Squeeze don't ship that symlink. This results in Zabbix trying to use a non-existant path to fping.

My question is: What's the path on non-debian distros? Does /usr/bin/fping also work there?
Wouldn't it be more clever, to search in $PATH by default (if no path configured)?

Yours

Fedora: /sbin/fping
OpenSUSE: /usr/sbin/fping

So Zabbix' default config only works with Suse.. Maybe it would be really more clever to search in $PATH
