check_mailq

[Frank Sfalanga]

I've installed and am configuring Nagios v1.3 on Ubuntu server.  I used
"apt-get install nagios" and the majority of setup was done for me.  I
have a qmail server and I'm trying to get the check_mailq plugin to
work.  So far all I'm getting is:

ERROR: is not executable by (uid 109:gid(109 109))

#./check_mailq -h reveals this:

 This plugin uses the system mailq command (sendmail) or qmail-stat
(qmail) to look at the queues. Mailq can usually only be accessed by
root or a TrustedUser. You will have to set appropriate permissions for
the plugin to work.

I've tried setting /usr/sbin/sendmail SUID
I've tried setting /usr/lib/nagios/pluggins/check_mailq SUID

The nagios process is running as user "nagios"

Should I set "nagios" as a TrustedUser?  Does this mean the qmail server
needs a TrustedUser added (nagios I assume)?  Please help.

Anything you got would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank
