I think this may be intentional. check_icmp is the same way; it's not installed setuid root by default; the installing administrator has to manually chmod it that way. setuid root programs are particularly dangerous, which is why things tend not to come prepackaged that way. (I can't find a policy document on it, but Debian flags setuid binaries, which implies that they should at least only be distributed with the utmost caution. http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/setuid- binary.html ) If these binaries were to be distributed setuid root, they should be owned by root:nagios (assuming that Nagios executes commands as a user belonging to group 'nagios') and chmod'd 4754.
