Re: [Nagios-users] FreeBSD could not get group entry for Nagios
Personally I prefer to compile from source as I know exactly what it does and where things go. I sorted it anyway, it was basically a config item that still read nagios_group=nagios - I changed that to nagios_group=localservice and the warning went away.

Re: [Nagios-users] FreeBSD could not get group entry for Nagios
For info - this warning does not prevent Nagios from starting up - however if you add a group called nagios it goes away. Perhaps there's a bug in this/other versions where it checks for the specific group called nagios and not the one used in the configure script - or is this a feature? ;) Andy.
