"UNKNOWN" problem, with a return code of 0 in solaris 9.

[Patrick Walentiny]

That is all configured properly, and it is logging in just fine.  I am
running it as the nagios user, the key is setup as the nagios user.  I
even get proper output from the other side telling me my disks are OK,
but the return code is 3 and not 0.

You say you've run this from the command line, but have you run it as
the
Nagios user?  check_by_ssh requires that you have a passwordless ssh key
to
allow login to the remote host... configuration of that key is
user-dependant.

It's possible you're getting an UNKNOWN result from check_by_ssh because
it is
unable to login to the remote host.
