Interesting... smells buglish.
# grep nagios_group nagios.cfg
nagios_group=nagios
# ps -eo pid,user,rgroup,command | grep nagios
27347 nagios nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
# vi nagios.cfg
# grep nagios_group nagios.cfg
nagios_group=nagcmd
# /etc/init.d/nagios restart
Running configuration check...done
Stopping network monitor: nagios
Waiting for nagios to exit . . done.
Starting network monitor: nagios
# ps -eo pid,user,rgroup,command | grep nagios
32016 nagios nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
I see the change here -
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagcmd 829161 May 22 07:25 status.dat
But not here -
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 May 22 07:26 nagios.cmd
I also see that in base/nagios.c that nagios drops privs to nagios_user
and nagios_group before calling open_command_file (which doesn't seem to
specify a specific group) so I would expect it to be group nagcmd.
Clearly I'm missing something. It's unintuitive behavior at the least
but it seems more than that IMHO. Can anyone test with a 3.x install?
