I'm not sure about your cases but when running check_procs on hardened gentoo servers, their hardened kernels stop user accounts from seeing all other users processes. The only user who can see other user's processes is the root user.
Therefore I run my proc checks with sudo and then it works. Are you running check_procs as the nagios user? Have you tried running it as root? -h Hari Sekhon Sandor W.
