Heh. I said you needed to *change* the '--with-ping-command' setting,
not drop it completely.
Actually, the real problem is that there are *three*, count 'em, *three*
different ping commands in Debian: inetutils-ping, iptuils-ping, and
netkit-ping. They are not command line compatible.
This makes baby Nagios cry.
Right now, it looks like check_ping is issuing the command:
/bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 $HOSTNAME
With netkit-ping, which is what I have installed:
$ /bin/ping -n -U -w 10 -c 5 speedy
/bin/ping: invalid option -- U
usage: ping [-LRdfnqrv] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload]
[-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface address] host
Bugger.
Installing iputils-ping works. Inetutils-ping doesn't implement -U
either (maybe because it does the right thing w/o it; it looks like
iputil's -U is a hack).
Anyway, as I wrote in http://bugs.debian.org/294224, it looks like
--with-ping-command='/bin/ping -n -c %d %s'
should work with all the existant Debian pings.
