You need the root setuid flag: chmod u+s check_dhcp

Hi, I am trying to use the "check_dhcp" pluggin to check dhcp leases, etc. 
on production servers. 

 I keep getting the following error: 
  
root at nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_dhcp -v 
DHCP socket: 3 
Error: Could not bind socket to interface eth0.  Check your privileges... 

 After ensuring the permissions are set correctly (-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 
34344 2010-02-04 07:09 check_dhcp* ) 

 and attempting to run the binary executable from to root account, I still 
get the same error. 
 What else can I check ? 


Note: Nagios pluggins are running the following level: 
 ./check_tcp -V 
check_tcp v1.4.14 (nagios-plugins 1.4.14) 
root at nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins#
