Perhaps.  However, the default ping action uses the options as follows:

ping -n -U -c 1

using the redhat 8 ping with these default options fails.

I maintain that if ping fails with the nagios default ping options, either 
ping is broken or the default nagios install is broken. 

Because upgrading the rpm solved the problem, it's pretty obvious that it the 
ping behavior was changed between 8 and 9, so I must assume that they viewed 
the behavior in redhat 8 as a bug.  Therefore, I believe that ping was indeed 
broken.

Nevertheless, it's a moot point now.  The upgrade solved the problem, so I see 
no reason to tinker with it further.  Thanks for the feedback, though.
