If the actual output of rpcinfo doesn't match any of the scripts known, hard-coded output strings, then the default state is maintained. Since the default state is 'OK', you will always get an 'OK' if the script can't parse the output of rpcinfo. Doesn't seem like totally desireable behavior to me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>--Ben</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> -----Original Message----- From: Nelson, Ben Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 3:13 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NIS check? </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV>After trading a couple of emails with Will Melick, it appears that the current version (beta) of check_rpc may have a bug.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>No matter what host addresss you give the plugin, it returns an 'OK' status.
