Nagios Support Forum

I am in a serious problem. I was unable to change nagios files using a user. So, changed file permission & created a group. But after that NAGIOS isn't getting process status.
I have executed following commands.

groupadd local_users
usermod -a -G local_users sabuj
chown -R root:local_users /usr/local
chmod -R 2775 /usr/local
find /usr/local -type f -exec chmod 0774 '{}' \;

Then i have changed /usr/local/nagios path to nagios group:

root@RR-DE-NMS-1:/usr/local# ls -lrt
total 36
drwxrwsr-x 2 root local_users 4096 Feb 18 20:33 src
drwxrwsr-x 2 root local_users 4096 Feb 18 20:33 sbin
drwxrwsr-x 2 root local_users 4096 Feb 18 20:33 include

drwxrwsr-x 11 nagios nagios 4096 Apr 7 15:06 share/
drwxrwsr-x 5 nagios nagios 4096 Apr 14 20:20 var/

I have added nagios user into local_user group. But no result. Do, i need to add some more user? In that case i want to undone it.

But i have checked pre-flight checking & everything is ok.

root@RR-DE-NMS-1:/usr/local/nagios# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
