linux-nrpe-agent Install - Permission Denied

[peakyblinder]

Hi All,

First time having to install the nrpe agent on a linux server. I "know enough" to get by but this is confusing me somewhat.

I'm trying to install the linux-nrpe-agent on a RedHat server. Following the document it should just be a case of running the 'fullinstall' using something like 'sudo sh fullinstall'.
It runs but then fails with permission denied on;
$ sudo sh fullinstall
fullinstall: line 4: ./init.sh: Permission denied

When the script calls the next script, it keeps failing with permission denied. Doesnt even spit out an install.log
Even if I switch to root (sudo su), it still doesnt work.

I know this is probably pretty simple for someone... any ideas?

Thanks,

Are you installing from a directory that has noexec set on it? some systems are locked down and do not allow executing from directories under /tmp

In this case you would want to move the install directory somewhere else like your users home directory and install from there.

Awesome!! I learn something everyday!

You're correct, running it from my home directory without problems.

Thank you sir!
