Presuming this accurately reflects your command{} definition. Nagios
doesn't run this command as the root user so it's not a good test. Try
running it as the nagios user. Most often, /bin/ping, which check_ping
calls, is not executable by any user other than root. If that is the
case, make it run suid with chmod u+s /bin/ping.
