Hello,

I am having the same problem, is there a solution for this?

# sudo -u nagios exim -bpc
exim: permission denied

# chage -l nagios
Last password change : Jan 23, 2017

Number of days of warning before password expires : 7

user on etc/passwd is:
nagios1001:/home/nagios:/bin/bash

How can I resolve? I am getting this in a number of servers.

[SOLVED]
I finally found the problem. Still unable to execute exim -bpc but the check_eximmailqueue can.

To fix I Comment out:
Defaults requiretty
In /etc/sudoers

I hope this helps, it took me a while to figure out.

Thanks for coming back and reporting the solution to help others!
