<p class=MsoNormal>Dears,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Attached is a small patch that hopefully you’ll
take into account.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Its purpose is just to unify NRPE’s
way of creating nagios user and group : it is currently creating a system user
(using the –r option), but a standard group (without the –r option)…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So I changed that in the attached patch,
and changed a bit the comments in order to reflect this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I hope you’ll welcome this, but at
least you’ll be aware of the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Some background for this simple patch :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This is actually a problem for us, because
we’re installing nrpe on lots of nodes which contain *<b>lots</b>* of local
accounts, all created with a pre-defined and unified (i.e : same on all hosts) UID/GID.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>But when we add users after NRPE was
installed, we sometimes run into the situation when nagios GID is in fact using
a GID we’d like to deploy – and of course if we could be sure RPM
install would guarantee the nagios GID would be < than 499, we’d have
no problem since we’re not using system users/groups IDs…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
