Christian, Patrick is correct, and something I forgot about.  The
check_dhcp plugin needs to be setuid, which you've indicated it is.

Can you try running check_dhcp directly from the Nagios server though?
With your setup, it doesn't make sense to use check_nrpe when you can query
the DHCP server directly.  And as I've said, I'm not sure you are going to
be able to run check_dhcp from the DHCP server itself, unless you have
multiple interfaces.

cause of your problem is that the plugin needs to be setuid root.
