More AIX and NRPE questions
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 11:59 am
Our AIX admin installed this http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Di ... ns/details
We need to elevate permissions for a couple of the checks we are running, but are having two minor issues (Due to my lack of understanding perhaps).
1.) He doesn't recall it asking for a password for the nagios user when installing NRPE, and we aren't even sure it has a password. What happens if we set a password on that account, what will that break?
2.) If we give nagios sudo rights for the checks, what does the check need to look like in XI (were do I put the sudo?)
Thanks
