I'm having a strange issue with the check_dhcp plugin v1.4.16 on SL6. Permissions on the file are 4750, owner is root, and group is nagios; the nagios user is a member of the nagios group. The partition was mounted with the suid option enabled. SELinux is disabled.
$ ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp -rwsr-x--- 1 root nagios 123851 Jun 3 12:08 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp When I run check_dhcp as the nagios user, I get the following error: $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp Error: Could not bind socket to interface eth0. Check your privileges... Even when I run the plugin as the root user, I get the same error, so I suspect this is not really a file permissions issue. I found a similar post on this list from 2008 (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20407079), but when that poster changed the permissions to 0775 he was able to run the plugin successfully as root. But when I chmod 0775 and run as root I still get the same error. The last post in the thread simply says "was a permission issue on the file" with no additional explanation, which is oh so helpful. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? --Max Carey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
