HELP!! Installing A New Version Of Nagios Using Existing Clients and Con figuration Files

[Goldberg Alain (IT)]

Yes.... 
The user (/etc/passwd) RUNNING Nagios and/or the command MUST be in the
GROUP (/etc/group) - that is the group owner of:
1) /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
2) /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd

Existing Clients and Con figuration Files

Hi Marc --

The check_nrpe plug-in was missing. I copied it from the original Nagios
server and put it into the new one.

I reran the test with the new server and a somewhat different problem
has occurred. The Windows machines and printers appear without a
problem, but the UNIX/Linux systems still report as down, and when I
check the services on them, they all report back with a no output error
message. I tried to manually run a check of the systems via the host
information screen. But no matter what option I check, I am confronted
with the error message

	Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
for update.

I double-checked the permissions on the parent directory of the file,
and they match those of the original server. 
The cgi.cfg file also matches that of the older server. Any ideas?

127 usually means that the program you're trying to execute (in this
case probably check_nrpe) does not exist. Does it exist on your nagios
server in the location specified in your commands config file? Is it
executable by the nagios user?
