Yes, thank you, I just discovered that. However, all I got from check_fping was "FPING - WARNING", somewhat misleading. A bit of guesswork and trial and error showed that the check_fping has to be executed as root. In my environment all nagios processes are run by nagios, so I did the suid trick and now it works.
