Nagios 2.0 (nsca-2.4) upgrade difficulties on Solaris 9

[Colin White]

Hi Folks,

I've recently upgraded to nagios-2.0b3 (from 1.1 where things were
working fine) after a host and ISP change (too many things at once,
I'm told..)

As expected, things have got a bit lumpy along the way... 

I'm running on Solaris 9 (Sparc) and still using the
nagios-plugins-1.3.1 as 1.4 wouldn't make properly for me.

I'm using nsca-2.4 and my remote hosts are submitting their passive
checks nicely and I get "1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully".
Nsca is running in my inetd.conf as instructed in the INSTALL file
(nsca-2.4.tar.gz). Netstat and snooping the iface show passive check
connecting to my host as I'd expect on default 5667. The nsca config
files (password & port) match at both ends.

Nagios is running fine and passed the preflight check (-v). I've read
the Manual and FAQ and list archive (GMANE).

However, passive checks don't seem to be getting written to my
nagios.cmd file and won't show in the service status. I can tail -f
this file and see cgi commands being written to it ok, but not passive
checks.

My file perms look like this -

drwxrwsr-x   2 nagios   nagioscmd     512 Apr 29 17:44 .
drwxrwxr-x   4 nagios   nagios       512 Apr 29 18:46 ..
prw-rw----   1 nagios   nagioscmd       0 Apr 29 17:44 nagios.cmd

My Apachessl belongs to nagioscmd.

My host definitions looks like this -

define host{
        use                             generic-host
        host_name                       C-Flat20
        alias                           Craw House Flat 20
        parents                 myhost.domain.com
        address                 127.0.0.1
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      1
        notification_interval   15
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
        contact_groups  admins
        }

I have a service definition looking like this -

define service{
        host_name          C-Flat20
        service_description     TRAP
        active_checks_enabled   0
        passive_checks_enabled  1
        check_freshness         0
        freshness_threshold     600
        check_command           check_orbitron
        is_volatile             0
        check_period            24x7
        max_check_attempts      1
        normal_check_interval   1
        retry_check_interval    1
        notifications_enabled   1
        notification_interval   0
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    w,u,c,r
        contact_groups          admins
        }

My nagios.cfg contains -

accept_passive_service_checks=1

Can anyone suggest why my passive checks aren't being processed?

Help, comments or pointers much appreciated.

Thanks

Colin
