I believe your question would be better served on a list related to SELinux. In my experience SELinux is overkill for anything but the most paranoid security situations. Without a complete understanding of your entire security landscape, you'll just end up fighting with your own systems because

You can also try typing your arguments at the far end in the nrpe command file. I'm not the biggest fan of passing arguments via nrpe. I've found it simpler to deploy the same nrpe command file to a cluster and have nagios just execute the check_nrpe_1arg command. -lee On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at
