Problem with check_by_ssh

[Mario Rimann]

Hi there

We're experiencing an issue on a new setup where check_by_ssh should run a
script on a foreign host with two parameters and handle the response.
Executing the script on the remote server works - but the parameters don't
get transmitted to the remote server. Afther fiddling around with the
service and the command definition, I started to run the command on the
shell to see what happens:

If I run it locally as root, all works out:
[root at monitoring ~]# /path/to/libexec/check_by_ssh -l root -H
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -v -C "/root/bin/checkSomeThing.sh 300 500"

Running the same stuff as the nagios user fails (script get's called, but
doesn't get the parameters)
[nagios at monitoring ~]$  /path/to/libexec/check_by_ssh -l root -H
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -v -C "/root/bin/checkSomeThing.sh 300 500"

I already checked /etc/passwd - but besides the user's names, user-id,
group-id and the home directory path all looks the same - both have
/bin/bash as their logon shell.

Any hint?

Cheers,
Mario
