How do we report a possible bug (in check_ping)?

[Eddie F]

Hi all,

How/where do I report bugs for Nagios?
And just as importantly, how/where do I check to see if it is
something that has already been reported?

I think I might have found a bug in check_ping when a a domain name is
entered for host_address rather than the IP address. I've found that
using the domain name seems to work fine with some other check
commands (FTP, HTTP and SSH).


See the two examples below, running check_ping on our system. Firstly
using the domain name, then using IP address...

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H nagios.org -w 300,10% -c 1000,50% -p 5
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H 66.118.156.22 -w 300,10% -c
1000,50% -p 5
PING WARNING - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 709.87
ms|rta=709.869019ms;300.000000;1000.000000;0.000000 pl=0%;10;50;0


I've tried this with many hosts (one on the same sub-net), and the
result have always been the same

Thanks,
Eddie.
