/etc/init.d/nrpe ends up being installed w/ mode 0750 and owned by nagios:nagios; I believe this is due to this in src_install(): exeopts -m0750 -o nagios -g nagios This should either be reverted after the specific block that needs it or be changed per-install component. The init script has to be started by root, so it doesn't make sense for it to be executable by nagios. Reproducible: Always
Fixed in net-analyzer/nagios-nrpe-2.13. Thanks!
