The check_listeningprocs script reports a warning (sample included
below) for processes that are listening on the loopback interface
('127.0.0.1'), even though it seems that it's not supposed to, judging
from the source.
In the check_socket() function (line 130 of check_listeningprocs), it
checks to see if $address is '127.0.0.1' and if it is, changes
$address to 'loopback'. Later in the same function (line 145), it
again check if $address is '127.0.0.1', but as I understand it that
can never happen. As a result, a warning is reported even though it
seems that it's not the original intention.
A sample report:
# Checking listening processes
NEW: --WARN-- [lin003w] The process `mysqld' is listening on socket
3306 (TCP on loopback interface) is run by mysql.
My suggestion for a patch to fix it:
