This happens because the shell translates the hash in your password to the end of the command and the start of a comment. You need to use either single or double quotes around both your passwords in order for the shell to see them as a single argument.
check_command check_snmp!-P 3 -U snmpv3user -L authPriv -a MD5 -A v3p4ssword#1 -x DES -X v3p4ssword#2 -o DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance
So type in v3p4ssword#1 as 'v3p4ssword#1' with the quotes, and do the same for 'v3p4ssword#2' and it should work. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
