I guess you mean the opsview-slave init script on the slave. I've
edited the section you suggest, created the new nagios2 user on the
master, and re-started the autossh tunnel on the slave.

That worked fine. The tunnel is up and I can connect from the master
to the slave.

Please elaborate. Thanks.

Yep, makes sense. Does anything else need to be done?

I've just issued a reload on the master after making this change and
all went well. No errors in opsviewd.log and all is green in the
monitoring servers section of the master GUI.

Surely it can't be that simple, can it ?

I'm hoping the answer is yes !
