[Possible Spam] - Re: host down but up problem

Okay, so I am having this problem with the Check_Icmp plugin.
If I run the check_icmp as the default nagios user account, I receive a
status information message in Nagios stating that 'Root access needed
(for raw sockets)' is necessary. Yet, as stipulated by another's post,
it runs as root, no problem. I have verified that the permissions (from
Linux) are set correctly.
This is 1.4.x of the plugins running on SuSE 9.1 and Nagios 1.2.
How does one get around this?

Don't know about hip and cool, but you're probably better off without
it. "Don't fix it if it ain't broken".

This can happen properly when the host starts flapping while down and
comes out OK on the other end of the flapping. Assuming you aren't
running 2.0 with f among your notification_options, ofcourse.
