I think check_icmp needs to be owned by root and setuid in order for it
to carry out socket operations.

Try:

chown root check_icmp
chmod u+s check_icmp

Standard warning: you should always understand the consequences before
setting the setuid or setgid bit on a file. A Google search on "setuid"
will turn up plenty of general info.
