Re: [Nagios-devel] quick installation guides / useradd (bug?)
Posted: Fri May 30, 2008 8:19 am
Hi!
I'm using the 8.04 Server Edition of Ubuntu and Nagios 3.0.1. I've set up Nagios as described in the installation guide, too.
The message 'Home directory doesn't exist... assuming "/"' came every time I've started Nagios. So the init script worked. There was only this annoying message.
Thanks for your hint with the -m switch. I stopped Nagios, ran "userdel nagios", "useradd -m nagios" and now, when starting Nagios, the message doesn't appear any longer. And Nagios still seems to work
Regards
Bernd
