Hello again Nagios community,
I found the solution for the NRPE over XINET.D permission problem. As I said,
the check_oracle plugin uses some features from the Oracle Home directory to
do the Test. But if we don't have permission to access the Oracle directory
from the Nagios linux user (as specified in xinet.d configuration file), we
cant reach the right path to do the plugin tests.
The problem can be fixed by this 2 following steps:
1: Put the Nagios unix user in the oinstall group (The Oracle instalation
group)
2: Replace the line in the nrpe/xinet.d file:
user= nagios
group = nagios
for
user= nagios
groups= yes
This second step forces to the xinet.d to use all the groups the Nagios user is
member.
I hope this solution is useful to the community.
Thanks!

Hi Nagios community,
I got a problem with NRPE Addon working under XINET.d when the check_oracle
plugin is used.
If the NRPE service is started as a deamon, the check_oracle plugin works
fine. But if I use check_oracle under XINET.d I got this following error:
Cannot determine ORACLE_HOME for sid DB1
I googled it and most of people says to check the owner and read/write
parameters of the Oracle path/directories and Nagios paths. But it don't solve
my problem.
I tried to initialize the XINET.d with the -d debug parameter and I didnt see
and error message.
I think there are a solution for it.
