You don't say what operating system you are running, but I'll share what was required of me on Solaris:
chmod u+s /opt/csw/sbin/fping*
which has resulted in:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root bin 36K Mar 11 2014 fping
I think I lifted this from:

What should I do to correct this (best solution)?
Found this, but not sure it applies to xymon:
chownroot:zzzzzzzz /usr/sbin/fping
chmod710 /usr/sbin/fping
chmodug+s /usr/sbin/fping
