The tar file definitely isn't on the Nagios server, so my colleague must have removed it when he unzipped it :-(

I note that the official Nagios installation guide specifies the following for plugin installation:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagios-plugins-2.0
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
make
make install 
how do these user and group parameters fit around the openssl parameter - do I just append them?

Code: Select all

./configure --with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios
Cheers

Yes, but the assumption is that you have created the nagios user and nagios group, which you probably already did, so you can do the command you just listed and it should work.

Make sure you put a space after "./configure" and before the "--with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl"
