Nagios Support Forum

ahhhh .. that worked .. many thanks for your help.

I can crack on with the demo/testing

Best Regards

yes, I'm attempting to install the agent on a remote linux box, not the server itself

Hi

nothing found on the "ps -ef | grep nagios" and I've definitely rebooted.

current status -

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep nagios /etc/group
nagios507:nagios
nagcmd508:nagios

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep nagios /etc/passwd
[root@mx-myatrium ~]#

Hi

still fails after deleting the nagcmd & nagios group entries and yes, this definitely is not the Nagios XI server itself.

same as passwd file, nothing found

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep -i nag /etc/shadow
[root@mx-myatrium ~]#

as you thought, nothing found

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep -i nag /etc/passwd
[root@mx-myatrium ~]#

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# userdel -f nagios
userdel: cannot remove entry 'nagios' from /etc/passwd

unfortunately not .. there is no nagios account in AD/LDAP either

Hi

unfortunately, still fails ...

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# useradd nagios
useradd: user 'nagios' already exists

[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep nag /etc/group
nagcmd503:nagios
nagios505:nagios
[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep nag /etc/passwd
[root@mx-myatrium ~]#
