BTW, can you run the following command and see if this is going to fix your issue?

Code: Select all

usermod -s /bin/bash nagios

I think that did it! "Nagios" user needed the bash shell..

# service nagios restart
Running configuration check...done.
Stopping nagios: done.
Starting nagios: done.

(no error.)

Thanks a bunch!
