Problem with check_by_ssh

[Matt Simmons]

My first guess would be that there is some sort of environmental
variable being set when you log in that wouldn't be set when you
aren't (ie, when Nagios triggers it). Are you using keys that have
passphrases, maybe?  Can you give us a look at the contents of
check_by_ssh?
