[Nagiosplug-help] check_dhcp problem

Hi,

I'm moving our Nagios config over to a new server, and I'm having
trouble getting check_dhcp to work.  It compiled OK, and I've chown'ed
it to root and set the UID bit, but when I try to run it (even as root),
it just returns "Could not bind to DHCP socket (port 68)!  Check your
privileges".
The new server is running OpenSUSE 10.2 (kernel  2.6.18), with version
1.4.8 of the plugins.  Can anyone suggest why this isn't working?

Thanks,
Ian.
