[Perfparse-devel] Perparse Method 4 (pipe) - patch proposal

[Daniele C. <dan...@ti...>]

Hello folks!
First of all, I want to congratulate you on the great job doing...

I'm currently using nagios 1.2 and perfparse 0.105.5 on a test 
environment on a FreeBSD 5.3, monitoring some host and servicies.
I chose the pipe method for perfparse and ran perfparsed as root, but I 
noticed that perfparse create the pipe with prw-r----- permissions; as I 
run nagios as unprivileged user, it wasn't able to write to this pipe... 
I take a look at the source code and noticed that perfparse try to 
create a pipe group writable, but can't do because of some restrictive 
general options set. So I wrote this little patch (in attach) that 
create the pipe with prw-rw---- permissions...
I think was the author intention to create a group writable pipe, 
otherwise don't care about this patch.

I appreciate a lot the summary feature and I'd like to know if it's 
planned a graphical representation and, if yes, if it's planned in a 
short-range or middle-range time.
