Monitor DHCP Server []

[Melkiades]

Hi there

NAGIOS FAQ F0074: "How do I monitor DHCP services on my network?"

[..]Note that the plugin *must* best installed suid root in order to
run, as it binds to a privileged port (UDP 67) in order to listen to
DHCPOFFER packets.

#ls -lpsa
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 nagios nagios  56028 Mar 29 09:23 check_dhcp

#./check_dhcp my.dhcp.server
Error: Could not bind to DHCP socket (port 68)!  Check your privileges...

#chown root:nagios check_dhcp
#chmod 4710 check_dhcp

#ls -lpsa
 -rws--x---  1 root nagios 56028 Mar 29 09:23 check_dhcp

#./check_dhcp my.dhcp.server
Error: Could not bind to DHCP socket (port 68)!  Check your privileges...

Any help?
Thanks!
