CentOS - Dec 2008 - OT: Ping failed

Hi,

The Ping service in Nagios has "unknown" status which was previously
OK, this happens after i messed up some of the files owner and accidentally
change it to Apache. Although I restored most of the file permission back to
Root, the problem above still appears which I suspect is due to permission. Does
anybody have idea where to look at.

Thanks,
junji

>From what I can see nagios' check_ping monitor executes /bin/ping,
in which case you need to make sure /bin/ping is owned by root
and is setuid (chmod u+s /bin/ping)
