Perhaps. However, the default ping action uses the options as follows:
ping -n -U -c 1
using the redhat 8 ping with these default options fails.
I maintain that if ping fails with the nagios default ping options, either
ping is broken or the default nagios install is broken.
Because upgrading the rpm solved the problem, it's pretty obvious that it the
ping behavior was changed between 8 and 9, so I must assume that they viewed
the behavior in redhat 8 as a bug. Therefore, I believe that ping was indeed
broken.
Nevertheless, it's a moot point now. The upgrade solved the problem, so I see
no reason to tinker with it further. Thanks for the feedback, though.
