New nagios user - I'm having problems

[Brandon Ewing]

Greetings,

I'm having some issues configuring Nagios for the first time.  I've been
working off the config docoumentation and the sample files, and thought
I had something that works put together.  As an inital test, I setup one
host (localhost), and one monitor (ping).  I was able to start nagios
successfully, and log into the web frontend.  However, no matter what I
do, it never lists the one monitor I have setup as anything other than
failed.  

monitor  PING  UNKNOWN 04-19-2003 18:34:55 0d 0h 1m 53s 1/3 /bin/ping -n
-U -c 5 127.0.0.1  

I've even ran the ping command it says its  executing - it works fine.
I've ran the actual monitor script from the command line, 

libexec/check_ping -H 127.0.0.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60%
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.10 ms

I've confirmed that the checkcommands.cfg is setup correctly, and that
the correct variables in correct order are being passed by the
services.cfg file.
in services.cfg:
check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%

in checkcommand.cfg:
command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
-p 5

Also, I've confirmed that $USER1$ is defined in resources.cfg, and
resources.cfg is being loaded by nagios.cfg

$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec


What gives?  Am I missing something?
