Return Code of 127

[Parameshwar]

Hi,
    We are struck by the wierd message which says that "Return code of 127
is out of bounds - plugin may be missing". As answered by one of our maling
list members, I tested running the script "check_ping" from outside as both
"nagios" and "root". Does the file permission has problem? Please help me to
solve this basic problem from which I can start exploring the product. The
faq, does not highlight our problem any where. So please help us to by in
sync with you guys.

I had this problem with the notification tools I use (sms_client). If
everything is alright nagios runs as a non-root user, ie. 'nagios'. Could
you verify if the check_ping plugin can be ran by the nagios user? Also,
if you have added/removed/changed any subgroups the Nagios user is in, you
have to restart Nagios!

Hope this helps.
