Hello, I designed a way to feed email from RAID-controllers (3ware) to Nagios but I am not sure how save the proposed solution is. First I added an alias to /etc/aliases: nagios: "|/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/handle-RAID-mail"
Second I wrote the script nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/handle-RAID-mail Finally I had the problem, that postfixs "local", who delivers the email to handle-RAID-mail is chown nobody:nogroup which is far from being able to write into nagios/var/rw/nagcmd. So I did: $ sudo postconf -e default_privs=nagios Now "local" runs as user nagios and the checks are fed into Nagios BUT: Is there a more secure solution around w/o tampering the permissions of postfix?
