passwords.
Anyway, if the nagios user has no valid shells in /etc/passwd, you won't
be able to su to it even though you are root.

Hi, all.
I've just installed Nagios 3.2.1-2 on GNU/Linux Debian Squeeze 6.0.4 &
it's running fine but I have a permissions problem when trying to
authenticate as the `nagios` user in order in the first instance to read
the docs on the web interface (I
I didn't know about the primary group bit, thanks! It's all working,
apologies for the snarky-ness in the previous message. All is good
now :)

No, it's not, but that doesn't matter. I can manually execute the
plugin, but not via NRPE, so I think something isn't running as
nagios. Top says NRPE is running as nagios though. What user does
the NRPE run it's scripts as on the remote machine?

Hello List,
I'm using Nagios and NRPE to monitor some system logs on a remote
system via check_logfiles.
Here's the setup:
-user 'nagio's is part of the 'adm' group
-/var/log/syslog is readable by the 'adm' group
-manually executing check_logfiles as nagios (sudo -u nagios ./
check_logfiles )
