Automate Linux NRPE installation

chown: invalid user: `nagios:nagios'

This message would indicate to me that the 2-usergroups was not completed. (you actually mentioned you had added the users in a previous post).

Could you issue the following command:

Code: Select all

grep nagios /etc/group
grep nagios /etc/passwd

BTW, could you tell us what version of SUSE the linux agent is being installed in.

Code: Select all

cat /etc/*release

Since the nagios user/group is already created, can't you just removed the nagios/nagcmd user/group, delete the file that you touched to skip it, and try reinstalling again? I assume the nagios/nagcmd user/group won't be on the rest of them, right?

Could I have you check the following (as root):

Code: Select all

id nagios
chage -l nagios
