The mhttping plugin tries to write to /home/gconnor/.

Here the "setup guide" in /usr/libexec/munin/plugins/mhttping:

...
# 1. Drop or symlink "mhttping" into plugins dir
#
# 2. Edit mhttping to tell it where the "data" text file and "results"
# writable directory are.
...

I don't think we should install plugins which require editing of files in /usr/libexec/munin/plugins/.

Reproducible: Always
