Running nagios as root

[R. F.]

Hi, I've been messing with Nagios for a week now and I can't get it to
access/execute /bin/ping or /usr/local/sbin/fping. So I was wondering,
is it wise to run Nagios as root? Is there a way to do it safely? If so,
how, because it looks like the only option for me :(
 
Thanks.
