check_ping works fine from command line but cgi shows ping results as 'unknown'

[Arno Lehmann]

Dirk,

have you tried running ping (or the plugin) as user nagios or as root?

Probably it's an access rights problem... IIRC Fedora activates selinux 
enhancements and thus it might be necessary to change these to allow the 
nagios user access to the network interface.
