This means that check_ping did not understand what was output by the
ping command for your system.

One solution is to modify your check_ping to understand your ping
command's output.  If you check the archives, there should be a patch I
sent to the list that made check_ping work on RHEL 3, and likely FC2 as
well.

Another option is to get a plugin that isn't a wrapper for your system's
ping, but rather does the pinging itself.  I don't recall the name of
that package, but it sounded pretty interesting.  Hopefully the author
will pipe up shortly.  :)  This too can likely be found in the archives
though.
