It needs to be owned by root, executable by nagios and setuid. It should 
look something like this in ls -l;
srwxr-x---       root     nagios     <size> <time> check_dhcp
OR
srwxr-xr-x       root     <anygroup> <size> <time> check_dhcp

The important part is the s, x'es and that the owner is root.

# chown root.nagios check_dhcp
