Got it working and now trying to add another server to the hostgroup. Unbelievably, it works from the command line, but reports 'Host key verification failed' in the log and sends notifications. I run this from the command line and it works with no password required... genoa# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_by_ssh -H <host IP> -l <snip> -i <snip> -C "/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_nagios /var/spool/nagios/status.dat 5 '/usr/local/bin/nagios'" NAGIOS OK: 1 process, status log updated 5 seconds ago genoa# tail -1 /var/spool/nagios/nagios.log [1163098643] SERVICE ALERT: esmtp-ky;NAGIOS;WARNING;HARD;3;Host key verification failed. Here is the setup, the esmtp host is working fine and reporting OK: define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name nagios-servers alias Nagios Servers members esmtp,esmtp-ky } define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name esmtp-ky alias KY Mail Gateway address <host IP> } How is this possible? Both remote servers have the same key in their authorized_keys file and like you can see from above, it works from the command line flawlessly :( -- Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
