<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a strange
problem with check_procs plugin on solaris 8, which I compiled for use with
nrpe.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>My nrpe is running
as user nagios, under group nagios.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I try to run
check_procs as any other user then root, I get: "Unable to read output"
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>But running it as
root works perfectly well, unfortunatly I can run nrpe as root (or rather,
luckily, I can't :-) )</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>All the nagios/nrpe
plugins are owned by the user nagios, and group ownership is set to nagios as
well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>All my other plugins
work both locally and by nrpe from the nagios host except for the
check_procs</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=330483814-13012005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried searching
for this problem on google but I found only questions no answer, so
hence...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
