Fw: newbie help with status information ping not working???

[Marc Powell]

My guess would be that /bin/ping is not executable by the nagios user. Try 'chmod u+s /bin/ping' as root.

The fact that the status information is showing you usage suggests that there
is something wrong with your configuration.   If you let us know what's in
