nagios-nrpe is a package that allows nagios plugins to be executed on machines which nagios is not installed on. Currently, /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg AND /etc/init.d/nrpe depend on the nagios user/group, but installing nagios-nrpe by itself (a perfectly sane practice) does not create this user and group. I recommend adding a check in the ebuild to see if these already exist, and if not, they should be added to the system. Without this step, the ebuild will not work "out of the box". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-analyzer/nagios-nrpe 2. customize /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg (not required to generate bug) 3. /etc/init.d/nrpe start Actual Results: * Starting nrpe... start-stop-daemon: group `nagios' not found * Failed to Start nrpe [ !! ] Expected Results: nrpe should start without an error.
fixed in 1.8-r1 :)
