Package: nagios3-common
Version: 3.0.6-4~lenny2
Severity: normal
README.Debian says "agios 3 is not configured to look for external commands in
the
default configuration as a security feature.".
While this explains why external commands don't work it does not explain the
rational
behind disabelilng them. "as a security feature" is an meta explaination which
does
not allow an administrator to evaluate the pros and cons on re-enabeling the
commands
feature.
The README should state what are the concrete risks of enabeling "external
commands"
and what problems are known. This is needed so that an administrator can make
an
qualified decision on this subject.
