Check Ping & RH7.3 - a workaround !!!!

[Matthew.Quinney at hollandandholland.com]

Dear All,

Although I have not fixed it I have found a workaround.

/bin/ping was set SUID root but it sill didnt work. I could run a ping 
from the command line when logged in as the nagios user but not it seems 
in combination with the check_ping script as distributed with V1.0b4, the 
script said it could not parse the output from ping.

However with check_fping all seems fine (although I had to set this suid 
too).

I hope this helps others !

Thank you all,

Matthew
