check_by_ssh

[Brian Hendrix]

Well, I found my problem, guys, and do I feel stupid. If I were smart, I
would not admit this on the list.
 
Benny, when I saw in your email the following:
ping <hostname>
ping 100.1.30.31

I realized that was NOT the address for my remote host. The IP address
was wrong in the hosts.cfg
 
I AM NOW WORKING VIA SSH !!
 
Anyway, I now know more about SSH than I ever wanted to. I also learned
that the check_by_ssh command takes a "-1" (minus one) parameter for
rsa1 that is not part of the -h help.
 
THANKS for all the assistance.

OK, so sshd on the remote host is accepting protocol 1 connections.

>From the nagios machine, can you provide the results of (as user
nagios):

ping <hostname>
ping 100.1.30.31

ssh -1 hostname
ssh -2 hostname
