Error with check_dhcp

[Matthieu Parisot]

Probably that you tried under the "root" user; to be sure of that just 
do "su - nagios"
and try again to see if it stills fails. If the problem is here, try to 
add SUID bit to check_dhcp binary, chown it to root, and it
should work... The solution is a bit piggy because an exploit in 
check_dhcp could lead to local root compromise;
The problem must be that DHCP needs a privileged port, what the nagios 
user is not supposed to need.
