CHECK_FPING WARNING

[Burnson, Richard]

Are you able to run check_fping as the user nagios.  You typically need to
setuid to root on the fping binary.  By default fping cannot be run as a
regular user since it could be used in a DoS attack.

Subject: [Nagios-users] CHECK_FPING WARNING

Hello all,

this works...

./check_fping -H yahoo.com -b 1024
FPING OK - yahoo.com (loss=0.000000%, rta=69.100000 ms)

---------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that in the nagios web view monitor page
 
===>WARNING 01-09-2003 12:33:51 0d 0h 2m 10s 1/3 FPING WARNING - yahoo.com  

Why do I get a "FPING WARNING - yahoo.com" error?
---------------------------------------------------------------
define command {
  command_name check_fping
  command_line $USER1$/check_fping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -b $ARG1$
}
