Probably I am missing something obvious.....

Don't use check_ping it is too slow. Use check_icmp and don't forget to do
the following:

su - root
chown root:root check_icmp
chmod 4755 check_icmp
su - nagios
./check_icmp -H localhost

Hi All,
I have just installed nagios on a CentOS 4 box and I have a problem with
check_ping and check_http plugins.  When run as the nagios user they time
out.  If I run them sudo -u nagios as root, they work.

What is the obvious thing I am missing here?

Thanks in advance.
