Re: [webmin-l] Ping Monitor Issues

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Bradley,

I had a look at the code, and I can see how this could happen.. If the
monitor gets notified that it will receive a packet but doesn't
actually, it will fail as you described.

The work-around is to edit the file status/ping-monitor.pl and insert
the following at line 114:

next if (!$from_saddr);

Let me know if that works..
