Thanks for your help "chmod u+s" has  fixed the problem, now it's 
collecting perfdata.

The file you need to change is the actual check_icmp file in 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec
 
The command to run would be
 
chmod u+s /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp
 
Please try and find out some more info about setting root priviledges on 
files just so you understand the security implications.
 
Hope this helps
 
Barry

Hi Barry, 

here is my shout. Which file has to be altered by chmod? 

Thanks, 
Christopher

Hi Christopher 
  
Check_icmp has to run with root privilledges so you need to chmod the file 
to inherit the privilledges of the root user while running then release 
them again after execution. 
It's very simple to do. If you need more info give me a shout

Hello, 

I have problems to use the check_icmp with the nagios version 1.2, if I 
change the host check_command from check_ping to check_icmp, I get the 
message on the webinterface "Root access needed (for raw sockets)". 
Additional I can't see any graph's in the menu "View and Graph Binary Data". Has anybody a clue what's wrong with my configuration? 

Thanks, 
Christopher
