nrpe / check_smart_ide

[ibloodyhatespam at gmail.com]

Odd problem this. I'm using nagios 3.0.4 and I've just installed nrpe 2.1.2.
Most checks through nrpe work fine on this host except for one:
check_smart_ide.

 

Suid bit has been set, and logging in as the nagios user and manually
performing a "./check_ide_smart -n -d /dev/sda" results in a nagios readable
result ("OK - Operational (17/17 tests passed)")

Nagios on this machine also checks an nrpe plugin on another one with two
check_ide_smart checks, and they do work fine within nagios.

 

For a check_smart_ide on the machine itself however, I get "NRPE: Unable to
read output".

 

nrpe.cfg:

command[check_ide_smart_sda]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ide_smart -n -d
/dev/sda

 

 

server.cfg:

define service{

        use generic-service

        host_name hera

        service_description SMART sda 80GB system

        check_command check_nrpe!check_ide_smart_sda

        }

 

If the nagios user itself can run the command, why wouldn't nagios/nrpe be
able to?
