I've installed and am configuring Nagios v1.3 on Ubuntu server. I used "apt-get install nagios" and the majority of setup was done for me. I have a qmail server and I'm trying to get the check_mailq plugin to work. So far all I'm getting is:
ERROR: is not executable by (uid 109:gid(109 109)) #./check_mailq -h reveals this: This plugin uses the system mailq command (sendmail) or qmail-stat (qmail) to look at the queues. Mailq can usually only be accessed by root or a TrustedUser. You will have to set appropriate permissions for the plugin to work. I've tried setting /usr/sbin/sendmail SUID I've tried setting /usr/lib/nagios/pluggins/check_mailq SUID The nagios process is running as user "nagios" Should I set "nagios" as a TrustedUser? Does this mean the qmail server needs a TrustedUser added (nagios I assume)? Please help. Anything you got would be greatly appreciated.
