I am trying to use check_yum:<br>

<br>
It works great from the command line:<br>
[root@foo ~]# yum --security check-update<br>
Loaded plugins: dellsysid, rhnplugin, security<br>
Limiting package lists to security relevant ones<br>
Needed 4 of 11 packages, for security<br>
<br>
rhn-check.noarch<br>
0.4.20-33.el5_5.2<br>
rhel-x86_64-server-5<br>
rhn-client-tools.noarch<br>
0.4.20-33.el5_5.2<br>
rhel-x86_64-server-5<br>
rhn-setup.noarch<br>
0.4.20-33.el5_5.2<br>
rhel-x86_64-server-5<br>
rhn-setup-gnome.noarch<br>
0.4.20-33.el5_5.2<br>
rhel-x86_64-server-5<br>
[root@foo ~]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_yum<br>
YUM CRITICAL: 4 Security Updates Available. 7 Non-Security Updates Available<br>
[root@foo ~]# echo $?<br>
2<br>
<br>
It returns this from nagios:<br>
[root@foo ~]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.0.2 -t 50<br>
-c check_yum<br>
YUM OK: 0 Security Updates Available<br>
<br>
Here's my NRPE configuration:<br>
[root@bar ~]# cat /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg | grep check_yum<br>
command[check_yum]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_yum<br>
<br>
What am I missing here?<br>
