Wow...this is a first for me in my dealings with Nagios and the list. Usually, one of the "super smart" folks on this list sees what the problem is in a matter of minutes..but not this time.
Has no one else tried to verify ssl certs on a web server which requires STRONG encryption from a nagios server running Redhat v4 x86_64? :-( Anybody have any suggestions? -Emmett Emmett Hogan wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I am having a very strange problem.
