How about a grep -i nag /etc/shadow?

Can you remove the Nagios lines out of the group file(nagcmd/nagios) and try again?
I am pretty sure we're clear on this, but we're on a remote system, not the XI ova, right?

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

Two things to try here.
A longshot, however, what is the output of a ps -ef | grep nagios command?
Have you rebooted, to make sure something nasty isn't sticking around?

Hi
nothing found on the "ps -ef | grep nagios" and I've definitely rebooted.
current status -
[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep nagios /etc/group
nagios
507:nagios
nagcmd
508:nagios
[root@mx-myatrium ~]# grep nagios /etc/passwd
[root@mx-myatrium ~]#

Are you trying to install the Linux agent on an OVA deployment? The Linux agent is installed on that box by default, it's intended for your remote systems to be monitored.
Sorry for the noise if I'm misunderstanding.

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

Something is definitely haywire with your system.
I suggest in order to get your install done just create the following file in the directory containing the fullinstall script:
installed.usersgroups
Then re-run fullinstall, it shouldn't bother mucking about with creating the users if that file is there.
After you're done with that, fiddle with users and groups to suit your needs.
