For most unices you would chown root check_dhcp then chmod u+s check_dhcp. Consult the appropriate man pages for more information. -- Marc Sent from a very tiny wireless device with a very tiny unlit keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Kjetil Kvig <kjetil@catchcom.com> To: Nagios-list (E-post) <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thu Oct 31 07:02:03 2002 Subject: [Nagios-users] check_dhcp How do you run a plugin as a different user? It is required to run the check_dhcp plugin as root, but how do you configure the service/checkcommand for this?
