It would appear that /bin/ping is not executable by the nagios user. Try
running the command in the Info as the nagios user. In some
distributions, ping is only executable by root. You can modify that by
giving /bin/ping suid permissions if it doesn't have them already --
# ls -al /bin/ping
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27860 Sep 29 13:28 /bin/ping
# chmod u+s /bin/ping
# ls -al /bin/ping
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 27860 Sep 29 13:28 /bin/ping
