Yes, ls -l /proc/loadavg shows: -r--r--r-- 1 root root
which I believe mean any user can read it. Yet, sudo su - nagios more /proc/loadavg returns nothing when the nagios user has /bin/false for a shell, and returns the expected output when the nagios user has /bin/bash for a shell. I added the following line to /etc/sudoers: nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /proc/loadavg but that doesn't fix the problem. thanks, Peter On Apr 25, 2012, at 9:09 AM, Alex Griffin wrote: > Does the nagios user have read access to /proc/loadavg? > > Alex Griffin > --- > Tech Team > agrif...@nagios.com > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
