check_hpasm error <Virus checked>

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Michel,
Hi Marcus ;-)

now i see what's wrong here:

in your sudoers you allow the nagios-user to execute /sbin/hpasmcli with
sudo
but according to the nrpe.cfg
command[check_hpasm]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm 
you actually try to execute /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm with sudo.

Inside the check_hpasm i have some code which decides wether to execute
"/sbin/hpasmcli" or "sudo /sbin/hpasmcli". This depends on the uid under
which the plugin was started.

You have two possibilities:
1. 
- Stay with the current sudoers configuration which works 
  ("....Yes, the sudo /sbin/hpasmcli -s help works run as 
   nagios. I get the following output....")
- Tell NRPE to run check_hpasm as the nagios user:
  command[check_hpasm]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm

  The check_hpasm would detect that it runs under a 
  non-root uid and will call  sudo /sbin/hpasmcli ...

2. 
- Add /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm to the list of 
  privileged commands in /etc/sudoers and keep your nrpe.cfg

I would recommend Nr.1


> little bit afraid of the time you have to spend to configure it :-)
If i can help convincing a management to accept Nagios, then it was worth
it.

Gerhard
