Hi all,
I've just installed honeyd-1.0 on RH 8 (not the latest I know, but all I
had on hand). I added the current  libevent, libdnet and rrdtool-1.0.49
as required, libpcap and python were already there. Everything appears
to have gone fine, but on starting honeyd I get the following repeating
in the logs:
honeyd: rrdtool_fork: execv(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.49/): Permission denied
honeyd[825]: rrdtool returning errors - restarting.
honeyd[825]: Respawing rrdtool too quickly

Just a short guess without having a closer look:
The error message seems to say, that execv is trying
to execute a directory (instead of a binary in this
directory). Maybe I am wrong, but I could not resist.
