Re: Antwort: Re: [Perfparse-users] Problems to use check_icmp and nagios 1.2

[Barry W. <ba...@if...>]

The file you need to change is the actual check_icmp file in =
/usr/local/nagios/libexec

The command to run would be

chmod u+s /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp

Please try and find out some more info about setting root priviledges on =
files just so you understand the security implications.

Hope this helps

Barry

  Hi Christopher=20
   =20
  Check_icmp has to run with root privilledges so you need to chmod the =
file to inherit the privilledges of the root user while running then =
release them again after execution.=20
  It's very simple to do. If you need more info give me a shout=20

  Hello,=20

  I have problems to use the check_icmp with the nagios version 1.2, if =
I change the host check_command from check_ping to check_icmp, I get the =
message on the webinterface "Root access needed (for raw sockets)". =
Additional I can't see any graph's in the menu "View and Graph Binary =
Data". Has anybody a clue what's wrong with my configuration?=20

  Thanks,=20
