Hello,

I am trying to use check_yum:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Uncategorized/Operating-Systems/Linux/Check_Yum/details

It works great from the command line:
[root at foo ~]# yum --security check-update
Loaded plugins: dellsysid, rhnplugin, security
Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
Needed 4 of 11 packages, for security

rhn-check.noarch
                         0.4.20-33.el5_5.2
                                             rhel-x86_64-server-5
rhn-client-tools.noarch
                         0.4.20-33.el5_5.2
                                             rhel-x86_64-server-5
rhn-setup.noarch
                         0.4.20-33.el5_5.2
                                             rhel-x86_64-server-5
rhn-setup-gnome.noarch
                         0.4.20-33.el5_5.2
                                             rhel-x86_64-server-5
[root at foo ~]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_yum
YUM CRITICAL: 4 Security Updates Available. 7 Non-Security Updates Available
[root at foo ~]# echo $?
2

It returns this from nagios:
[root at foo ~]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.0.2 -t 50
-c check_yum
YUM OK: 0 Security Updates Available

Here's my NRPE configuration:
[root at bar ~]# cat /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg | grep check_yum
        command[check_yum]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_yum

What am I missing here?
