check_dns problem

[Marc Powell]

Those look good. What happens if you run --

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dns -H www.yahoo.com -s <your dns server>

And

/path/to/nslookup -sil www.yahoo.com <your dns server>

Both as the nagios user (su - nagios). I suspect that nagios isn't able to run nslookup. If the nagios user is able to execute both, please provide the output of each command.

Thanks,

m
