check_icmp uses it's own sockets code. check_ping is just a wrapper  
for 'native ping' (i.e. /bin/ping). if check_ping works, regular old  
ping must as well.

You can see the flags the check_ping is passing to /bin/ping by  
passing verbose flags --

$ ./plugins/check_ping -H localhost -w 10,10% -c 50,50% -vv
CMD: /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 localhost
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.04 ms
10.000000:10% 50.000000:50%
