[Nagiosplug-help] check_ping segmentation fault

[Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de]

Hi Rich,

I don't know how Solaris 9 is treating a SIGSEGV.
At least on HP-UX it is dumping a core file (provided no ulimit
-c prevented this)
So if you are adventurous you can try to trace the cause 
with a debugger.

However, I would suggest you used check_icmp instead of
check_ping.

For firewalled hosts where ICMP packets are dropped by a filter
en route
you could switch to check_tcp using port 22 (if that is allowed
to pass).
