Nagios 3.x spews debug output on configuration verify on RHEL3 systems

[jmoseley at corp.xanadoo.com]

Should the patch below for RHEL3 systems be applied in the official source
release or other documentation so that package maintainers can build RPM's
with the below fix?

Thanks,


James Moseley

This same issue was posted on the users list back in March, but didn't
generate any interest.  Essentially, the problem doesn't exist on RHEL 4 or
5 systems and shows up only when Nagios is compiled with ePN support.

On RHEL3, when verifying configuration, I get:

Nagios 3.0.6

Reading configuration data...

BUFNOW: # NAGIOS.CFG - Sample Main Config File for Nagios
*

The original poster posted a patch that seemed to fix the issue:

include/epn_nagios.h

   #include <fcntl.h>
++ #undef DEBUG
   #undef ctime    /* don't need perl's threaded version */
   #undef printf   /* can't use perl's printf until initialized */

Not sure if this works...

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks,


James Moseley
