I tried the IP address from the command line (logged in as nagios), and I did get the expected reponse: FTP OK - ......etc. There is only one daemon running for nagios. BTW, there are other services setup and running okay for this particular host. It's just that the service "check_ftp" responds with "Connection refused" on the web interface.

Your command definition uses the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro. That value can only be 10.8.24.170 as defined in your host definition, therefore the output you have to be seeing is /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_ftp -H 10.8.24.170 Which is correct, the configuration or the output? You must be restarting nagios to test the command{} definition variations so nagios should be using the information you provided. Are you sure that nagios is reading the cfg_file(s) with the host{} definition and/or command{} definition you provided earlier and not some other? > This command looks no different from what I have run from the command > line.

Nagios isn't running in a login shell so your OS could be doing something funny with the hostname expansion needed to perform the DNS lookup. *shrug*. Regardless, it should be using the IP and not the hostname 'dev01' anyway so I think there's something else going on. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
