With this:
>sudo -u nagios env -i /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -a "-L /var/sipenv-10.1.2.1/log/b2bua.log" -C python -c 1:1
I get the same result: the process is found. As for the userid:
>ps auxww | grep nrpe
nagios 646 0.0 0.1 2568 1596 ?? Ss 4Feb09 6:49.40 /usr/local/sbin/nrpe2 -c /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg -d

Thanks for responding. Any other thoughts? I'm stuck and am considering writing
a python script to replace check_procs as a workaround.
