What are the needed permissions for libexec directory and configuration directory.
when i try to "chmod -R o-rwx" both of them and "chown nagios:nagios" both of them i get an error code 13 out of bounds for ALL my services
Any suggestions?

Can you show an example of running the command from the CLI as the nagios user

One thing worth noting is there are several plugins that require suid root
Code: Select all
chmod +x /usr/local/nagios/libexec/*
chmod u+s /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp
chmod u+s /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp

when i run
chmod o-rwx /usr/local/nagios/libexec/*
gui returns error code 13 out of bounds
and
cli returns the following
./check_ping -H x.x.x.x
bash: ./check_ping: Permission denied
permissions of script are
-rwxrwx---. 1 root root 188695 Dec 30 23:33 check_ping
same for every check script

found the problem!
i had changed only the directory permission and not the files included to them.
i fixed it and worked fine
