check_by_ssh from nagios user

[Mario Garcia]

Hello

the problem does not occur when logging with simple nagios user
it only occurs when trying with check_by_ssh.

edit:
I managed to get it to work.. but i do not really know which solution
worked..

i edited sshd_onfig and disabled PAM
on the bluecoat I created a nagios users, gave it a home dir and assigned
it a password... restarted the ssh daemon, logged off and logged back in..

does check_by_ssh triggers some PAM authentication requirements?

thank you for your support.
