Hi This is an nrpe question so sorry if this is not the right place - I am trying to monitor a hp disk array and chassis and i have done this before using check_hparray and check_hpasm without issue,
Now however i come accross a situation where nrpe is not starting as the user 'nagios' # /etc/init.d/nrpe restart Shutting down nrpe: [ OK ] Starting nrpe: [ OK ] nrpe[16836]: Warning: Could not get group entry for 'nagios' nrpe[16836]: Warning: Could not get passwd entry for 'nagios' # ps auxwww | grep nrpe 4294967295 16836 0.0 0.0 740 388 ? Ss 11:32 0:00 /opt/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /opt/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d so you can see its not running as the nagios user (Nagios is a NIS map) BUT # getent passwd nagios nagios:NP:666:666:Nagios Monitoring:/home/nagios:/bin/bash So the box can get the users creds - also # su - nagios [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ # cat /opt/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg | grep nagios nrpe_user=nagios nrpe_group=nagios Any thoughts as to what the issue could be? thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
