problem with check_yum

[Seth Simmons]

I'm running nagios 3.0.6 and using check_yum on my red hat/centos boxes.

Today I've had all my centos boxes show yum warnings about needed
updates; found out centos 5.3 was released.

 

I have one red hat 5.2 box.  The problem is, check_yum within nagios
shows 'o/s is up to date' as of last check (10 min ago).

If I run it manually from the machine, it gives a warning that updates
are needed (verified through yum and rhn).

How can nagios be reporting that yum is ok when it isn't?
