Here's an example --

bash-2.05a$ ./check_by_ssh -H dc1 -C
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 12: -c :20 -C httpd'
WARNING - 10 processes running with command name httpd

It's probably because you have an incorrect host key in
~nagios/ssh/known_hosts. Have you tried just ssh'ing over to 10.0.0.7
from your nagios machine as the nagios user? You'll probably get more
descriptive output.
