i agree. next it depends on trust you give to each program to be setuid 
or not.
at least they drop privs but i don't understand this part of the help of 
check_icmp

* This program requires root privileges to run properly.
   If it is run as setuid root it will halt with an error if;
     interval < 25 || retries > 5

and it seems to work ok with setuid ?
or maybe ';' is a ':' ?
