Bug 89160 – Nagios /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd false right

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Romang 2005-04-15 01:18:57 UTC]

Hello,

If you combine nagios with apache, the right on /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd are false, cause apache can't interact with nagios.cmd

actually right are :

monitoring root # ls -la /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw----  1 nagios nagios 0 Apr 15 10:14 /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd

Should be :

monitoring root # ls -la /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
prw-rw----  1 nagios apache 0 Apr 15 10:14 /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd

The init script could do this :

start() {
...
start-stop-daemon --quiet --start --startas /usr/nagios/bin/nagios \
--pidfile /var/nagios/nagios.lock -- -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
chgrp apache /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
eend $?
...
}

reload()
{
        checkconfig || return 1
        ebegin "Reloading configuration"
        killall -HUP nagios &>/dev/null
        chgrp apache /var/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd
        eend $?
}

Regards.
