Check your resource file, /etc/nagios/private/resource.cfg. The default (as included in the EPEL RPM) has $USER1$=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins, and then your commands should all be $USER1$/check_foo. > Once I resolved the "not found" problem, nagios moved onto a permissions > issue. Calling any plugin results in a 126 error code. I've tried 'chown > -R nagios:nagios /usr/lib64/nagios'.

You've just blown away all the RPM-provided settings (which will break things). I would remove all your Nagios RPMs and re-install them to get the correct permissions (if you know what you are doing, you can reset ownership/permissions using the output of "rpm -Va nagios*"). The out-of-the-box RPM-provided config/settings work just fine, so there's most likely a problem with the way you've configured Nagios. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list epel-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
