[Nagiosplug-help] R: Remote command execution failed: Permissiondenied (publickey, keyboard-interactive).

[Marc Mercer]

You are correct in your judgement.

Can we see the check command for the two services? -- The identity file must be specified in the command, no cheating and using an ssh  config file :(

Hi Valeriom

	Nope. This is a message from the SSH key exchange stating that it
cannot authenticate using the method.  It should have used the key, but
this failed so it fell back to the interactive keyboard, which would
fail since its a process and not human, (unless one added expect into
the code, but this is not the point ;)

It has nothing to do with the libexec directories being executable or
not. Incidentally, the files are all 755 on both the server and the client.
