check_icmp requires to be executed by root or a user who is setuid
0:

Do this:

1. Change permissions
**chmod u+s /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp**

2. Make change permanent to survive an upgrade
**      dpkg-statoverride --add root root 4755

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp

** This works with Ubuntu I guess it should work with other distros
