Hi Guys
I'm trying to issue certain service checks through external commands but
getting an error "could not open command file nagios.cmd for update"
I went through Nagios FAQ & Google but didn't find the way out.
I have setup the permissions according to the recommendations & external
command check option is enabled in nagios configuration file also.
drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagiocmd 4096 Sep 3 14:15 rw
prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagiocmd 0 Sep 3 14:15 nagios.cmd
Pl help in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Navdeep Singh Sidhu

Hi Guys,
I've got a spiffy new rc.d script that works great for starting/
stopping the nrpe daemon. But simply adding nrpe_enable="yes" to my /
etc/rc.conf doesn't seem to do the trick.
Does anyone know how I can tell FreeBSD to fire off the "/usr/local/
etc/rc.d/nrpe start" command at boot time?
In case anyone's interested, here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for NRPE
#
# Source function library.
. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/functions
BIN=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
CONFIG=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
LOCK=/var/spool/lock/nrpe
RETVAL=0;
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting NRPE daemon: "
daemon $BIN -c $CONFIG -d
RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch $LOCK
then
echo -e "\t\t[ OK ]";
else
echo -e "\t\t[ FAILED ]";
fi
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping NRPE daemon: "
kill `cat /var/run/nrpe.pid` && rm -f /var/run/nrpe.pid
RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f $LOCK
then
echo -e "\t\t[ OK ]";
else
echo -e "\t\t[ FAILED ]";
fi
;;
status)
status nrpe
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL

Your script is not an script using FreeBSD's new rc.d semantics. So
don't
use rc.conf setting of nrpe_enable="yes" for that. (As it won't know.)
To use old style, name it to end with ".sh" and make sure it is
executable. The defaults of FreeBSD should then work to find it and run
it
at boot.
If you want to use FreeBSD's new rc.d semantics, have a look at the
rc.d scripts included by FreeBSD's nrpe and nrpe2 ports as examples.

nutmeg is returning output from nslookup that check_dns can't parse. It
would appear that nutmeg isn't configured to perform recursive lookups
(lookups for domains it doesn't host) and you're expecting it to.
$ nslookup -sil microsoft.com rosemary.datafly.net
Server: rosemary.datafly.net
Address: 64.34.193.57#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: microsoft.com
Address: 207.46.232.182
Name: microsoft.com
Address: 207.46.197.32
$ nslookup -sil microsoft.com nutmeg.datafly.net
Server: nutmeg.datafly.net
Address: 72.36.130.114#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find microsoft.com: No answer
As an aside, you shouldn't be allowing me to perform recursive lookups
with your servers anyway. Rosemary could easily be hijacked to perform
DNS based DOS attacks.

I was trying to be consistent and set everything up as closely as
possible to the way I had done it on my RetardedHat boxes.
Installing nrpe/nagios-plugins from FreeBSD ports is about a thousand
times easier and creates a snazzy new-style rc.d script for me right
out of the box. And now I can just put nrpe2_enable in my rc.conf and
everything works swimmingly. God I love FreeBSD.
Thanks for mentioning ports -- I don't know why I didn't think of
trying that before ;-)

So does that mean then that it isn't possible to use the check_dns
plugin without enabling recursive lookups and leaving my server open
to DNS DOS attacks?
Is there any way to use dns_check safely?
Thanks :-)

I have Suse 10.2 and Nagios, MRTG, Netdirector in production running on
vmware GSX server, soon we migrate it to the vmware ESX cluster. The
only problems was the solved filesystem issue after a diskerror. It
happens once on the ESX, the san was on that moment not multipath.
The time on ESX gives no problem, on vmware-server, the free one, there
is time a problem. NTP is configurerd to synchro the local time from a
server in DMZ, this one connect to the public time servers.
Conclusion: why not use VMware

I think the keyword in Marc's statement was "me" - him, Marc, being
outside of your network should not be allowed to perform recursive
lookups via one of your nameservers. If you are going to enable
recursive lookups for your own users/internal machines, limit access
to that feature via acl's to only those users/IPs/hosts.
Otherwise, with recursive off, ask them about a name they are
authoritative for.

Sure it's possible, and if the server is supposed to be a recursive
server (most are) then check_dns will work as you're testing it. Nutmeg
does not appear to be a recursive server though so you can't ask it
about microsoft.com since it doesn't know anything about it. Change that
to nutmeg.aspen.com or some other host in a domain it's authoritative
for.
> Is there any way to use dns_check safely?
My concerns about safety weren't related to check_dns at all. My concern
is that anyone anywhere in the world can use rosemary to attack other
DNS servers. As a bonus, you would be the apparent source of that
attack. IMHO, you should be using ACL's to allow recursive lookups only
for those networks that should be using that nameserver. Bind provides
an easy way of doing this if that's what you're using --

Sorry, to avoid confusion I really meant to say 'nutmeg.datafly.net'.

Hi,
I am using RHEL3 and installed
mysql5/apache2.0.59/php5 and nagios 2.9 and
plugin1.4.9.
My objective is to start monitoring disk usage of
remote servers. Any idea how to do that?
thanks.
