Ping Service Not Working on Nagios 1.2 / FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE

[granny at rakis.net]

Hello,

I've checked the archives and I haven't been able to find anything about
this problem.

I'm trying to run Nagios 1.2 on a FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE box.  The main
problem is that Nagios says that it's not able to ping anything, especially
the box that is running Nagios itself.  :)

I tried to see if check_ping wasn't working, but it seems to be OK:

bash-2.05b$ ./check_ping -t 300 -H 172.18.3.138 -w 100,20% -c 500,100%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.08 ms
bash-2.05b$

bash-2.05b$ ./check_ping -t 300 -H 172.18.3.138 -w 100,20% -c 500,60%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.09 ms
bash-2.05b$

I can even show you a sample of the config I have:

>From hosts.cfg

define host{
        use                     generic-host
	host_name               nt1
	alias                   Rachels Laptop
	address                 172.18.3.138
	check_command		check-host-alive
	max_check_attempts	10
	notification_interval	120
	notification_period	24x7
	notification_options	d,u,r
	}


>From services.cfg:

define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name
of service template to use

	host_name                       nt1
	service_description             PING
	is_volatile                     0
	check_period			24x7
	max_check_attempts		 3
	normal_check_interval		 5
	retry_check_interval		 1
	contact_groups			 nt-admins
	notification_interval		 120
	notification_period		 24x7
	notification_options		 c,r
	check_command			 check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
	}

Does anyone else run Nagios on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and has had this
problem?

Thanks.
