CentOS 7 server converted with vCenter Converter failing permissions

Folks,

I'm migrating my VMs from VirtualBox to vSphere at my home lab. Used vCenter Converter to bring five VMs and one physical windows box to my new server and was a walk in the park (Great application!)

I had one little issue with my Nagios CentoOS VM. It was imported and I was able to start and access it's GUI, but all host were not responding to the ping checks. Running from the shell I was able to ping all, but when I switched to the user running the application/tests (nagios) I got errors saying that the user didn't have permission to use that application (ping). Had to chmod it in order to fix everything.

As the VirtualBox VM was working fine, I assume something with the conversion changed permissions inside my install. Is that normal? Should I be on the look out for other issues like this one?

Thanks!
