If local Linux accounts password have to be changed periodically by PAM such as cyberark, what local accounts are used by Nagios XI to perform operations? Is a user called nagios which's in /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg only has to be changed? Pls list out if any. Current version of Nagios XI is 5.4.13.

Hi,
On the server there is nagios user account which is critical for the proper functioning of the program, you can check the status of this account with the following command.
By default, there shouldn't be a password set for this account. Regarding passwords for database accounts, we have instructions for setting those in the following guide.
