inaccurate ping results / packet loss

[Dan Siff]

I've been running Nagios for a couple of months now without any major 
issues, however, I do get an awful lot of packet loss alerts - averaging 
about 20 per hour.  I think this data is bogus, especially since I started 
running clean pings to the same hosts from the Nagios server.  In several 
instances Nagios was showing a packet loss alarm on a device that I had 
been pinging clear for over an hour - and again, this is all from the same 
machine, so it can't be loss related to processor load.

Has anyone else seen this issue?  I'm really curious as to what the deal 
is, because as it stands now, Nagios seems pretty unreliable.

I'm running Nagios 1.0b6 on an OSX/Darwin/Apache server.  Monitoring 157 
devices, ping only.  Ping service definition is all default values.

Thanks for any help.
