It would appear that /bin/ping is not executable by the nagios user. Try running the command in the Info as the nagios user. In some distributions, ping is only executable by root. You can modify that by giving /bin/ping suid permissions if it doesn't have them already -- # ls -al /bin/ping -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27860 Sep 29 13:28 /bin/ping # chmod u+s /bin/ping # ls -al /bin/ping -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 27860 Sep 29 13:28 /bin/ping -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
