Sorry, this binaries don't have suid set. I guess you did change that on your own. Maybe you should have a look into /usr/share/doc/nagios-plugins-basic/README.Debian.gz: ================================================================================ plugins needing root privilege ================================================================================ the check_dhcp, check_icmp and maybe others plugins require root privileges to run, because of the low-level packet mangling that they perform. but, in the interest of the "safe default", these plugins will not be installed with the suid bit set. there are two recommended ways about overriding this on your system: - set the suid bit with dpkg-statoverride: # dpkg-statoverride --update --add root nagios 4750 $plugin where $plugin is the specific plugin you want to grant such privileges. - use sudo to grant the permissions and modify your plugin config of these two, the first is recommended because it's the simplest and has the same effect as the second. > breaks all host checks, since the nagios user can't ping any host > without it. The default configuration is to use check_ping for the host check.
