check_debian_packages

[Mordur Ingolfsson]

Hi List,

I have been having difficulty with running a Nagios plugin called 
check_debian_packages by way of nrpe with sudo.

The plugin I'm having difficulties with needs to run "apt-get -s 
upgrade" on a Debian system, so root privileges are needed. I can run 
the plugin fine with sudo as user nagios, but nrpe using sudo always 
fails with permission denied, even if I give the nagios user full 
permissions for everything in /etc/sudoers.

I would be grateful for any hints.

Thanks,
