NIS check?

[Nelson, Ben]

The problem I see is that the current revision of check_rpc (1.3.0-beta2) is
dependant on specific output of rpcinfo.  If the actual output of rpcinfo
doesn't match any of the scripts known, hard-coded output strings, then the
default state is maintained.  Since the default state is 'OK', you will
always get an 'OK' if the script can't parse the output of rpcinfo.  Doesn't
seem like totally desireable behavior to me.

After trading a couple of emails with Will Melick, it appears that the
current version (beta) of check_rpc may have a bug.
 
No matter what host addresss you give the plugin, it returns an 'OK' status.
For example:
 
$ ./check_rpc -H 999.999.999.99 -C ypbind
OK: RPC program ypbind udp running
 
This bug appears to have been introduced between version 1.2.9-4 and
1.3.0-beta2 of nagios-plugins.  I still had a
copy of check_rpc from 1.2.9-4 laying around and it returns an error when
invoked as above.

Use the check_rpc plugin........ 
>From my commands.cfg file: 
define command{ 
        command_name    check_ypserv 
        command_line    $USER1$/check_rpc -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C ypserv 
} 
define command{ 
        command_name    check_yppasswdd 
        command_line    $USER1$/check_rpc -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C yppasswdd 
} 
define command{ 
        command_name    check_ypbind 
        command_line    $USER1$/check_rpc -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C ypbind 
}

Does anyone have a favorite way to check NIS services? 

Thanks much,
