Nagios for Dummies

[Fernando Gomes Lima]

	Hi Pascal,

Yes, the libexec directory exists and I set the permissions to 777 (I'm
really desperate to discover why isn't working), and change the owner from
root to Nagios.

Is there anything else that I missing?

Thanks,

Hello,

Mine is the same, and works fine for me.
Are you sure that the $USER1$ directory exist and has right permissions
??
