Package: nagios-plugins-basic Version: 1.4.4-1 Severity: normal Hi there,
is_hostname() in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/utils.pm:79 contains the pattern | if ($host1 && $host1 =~ m/^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+|[a-zA-Z0-9]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)$/) { This will fail if either the hostname or the domain part contains a dash. I ran into this problem, because some host definitons have names in the address statement, so $HOSTADDRESS$ expands to a name instead of an address. Simply adding "-" to the RE fixes the issue for me: | if ($host1 && $host1 =~ m/^([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+|[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*)$/) { Cheers, MB -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (920, 'stable'), (900, 'stable'), (810, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages nagios-plugins-basic depends on: ii iputils-ping 3:20020927-2 Tools to test the reachability of ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-3 SSL shared libraries ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities ii ucf 2.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv nagios-plugins-basic recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
