Setting up Nagios for monitoring LiM access and other external services I discover the the Nagios3 package with Ubuntu sort of sucks. So much does not work, without screwing around. I finally bagged it and went with building the current release from SourceForge. The current release of the pluggins failed to compile so I went with the latest drop. That worked fine. Other than that, the build and install was simple, with no surprises.
The only remaining issue is that I still can’t get a remote SSH test to pass. More on that later.
