Nagios 3.0b1 and perl check plugins [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Stanley.Hopcroft at Dest.gov.au]

Dear Folks,

The reports about this matter are a bit perplexing in that

1 if the Nag internals have changed so that the ePN functions do not
have their return values processed correctly, or the ePN functions are
not called in the same way as 2.x, then the SEGV is expected with ePN.

2 However, if Nag is recompiled without ePN, the plugins are run by the
shell in exactly the same way that other plugins are, and therefore if
the Perl plugin works from the command line, it should work with Nagios
3.x

IIRC, the ePN log shows that the Perl harness is doing the right thing
and so there is something in Nags internals that needs investigating for
ePN to work properly. So 1 is just a bug and should get fixed when I can
focus some time and energy.

OTOH, 2 is inexplicable.

Are all Perl plugins failing to run under 3.x Nagios _without_ ePN.

Please would you list some of the plugins that work under 2.x but fail
under 3.x ?

It would probably be good to check out the appropriate DEBUG setting
(DEBUG_3) and copy the list with the result.

Yours sincerely.
