Hello Benhank,

Can you:

Code: Select all

chmod 4750 check_icmp

[benhank]

Code: Select all

[root@lkennagioxib01 ~]# chmod 4750 check_icmp
chmod: cannot access `check_icmp': No such file or directory
[root@lkennagioxib01 ~]# cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
[root@lkennagioxib01 libexec]# chmod 4750 check_icmp
[root@lkennagioxib01 libexec]# sudo chmod 4750 check_icmp
[root@lkennagioxib01 libexec]#

issue persists =(

ok the error changed to

(Return code of 126 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Okay that's good, now re-enable execution permissions:

Code: Select all

chmod 555 check_icmp

[benhank]

odd on the server that it is not working on the permissions are set like this:

Code: Select all

check_icmp	0	0	r-xr-xr-x

but on my other two servers it's set like this:

Code: Select all

check_icmp	0	0	r-sr-xr-x

[nscott]

In that case, I believe it can be duplicated by a

chmod 7555 check_icmp

[benhank]

that command changed them to :
r-sr-sr-t no go.

I REALLY appreciate the time you are investing into helping me.
