It's the host key, not the private key, so if you're checking as root (and it looks like you are), you're not looking at the same known_hosts as Nagios is. Log in as the Nagios user or store the host's key in the known_hosts file Nagios looks at when it logs in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
