Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I am getting this message DISK CRITICAL - /var/named/chroot/proc is not accessible: Permission denied
For the life of me i cant figure out why , all the permissions are correct . all other checks are fine.
we are using nagios 3.5 core.
any suggestions would be much appreicated.

Joe

First, why are you running a disk check against proc?
Second, it is still most likely a permission issue. What is the output of:

here is the out put, sorry ity took so long.

ls -lad /var/named/chroot/proc
dr-xr-xr-x 211 root root 0 Oct 25 02:57 /var/named/chroot/proc
ls -lad /var/named/chroot
drwxr-x--- 6 root named 4096 Oct 7 2011 /var/named/chroot
ls -lad /var/named
drwxr-x--- 5 root named 4096 Apr 11 2008 /var/named
