README.SUSE for monitoring-plugins-icmp
== Special privileges ==
To be "safe per default", SUSE doesn't install this plugin with the
suid bit set. There are two recommended ways about overriding this on
your system:
=== Set the suid bit ===
Copy the prepared permissions file from this directory to the right place
in your file system:
~ # cp /usr/share/doc/packages/monitoring-plugins/example/permissions.d/monitoring-plugins \
/etc/permissions.d/monitoring-plugins
...afterwards adapt the file /etc/permissions.d/monitoring-plugins to your needs
(see comments in the file) and run:
~ # SuSEconfig --module permissions
or (on newer openSUSE distributions without SuSEconfig):
~ # chkstat --system --set
This will set the correct permissions (from now on also during an update).
=== Alternative: Use sudo to grant the permission and modify your plugin config ===
This way you just need an entry like:
nagios ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_icmp
in ''/etc/sudoers'' and an adapted command definition like the following:
define command{
command_name check_icmp
command_line /usr/bin/sudo $USER1$/check_icmp <other_options_here>
}
== Apparmor profile ==
Please check /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.nagios.plugins.check_icmp if you are
using the --extra-opts option. The Apparmor profile allows to open every file
below the /etc/monitoring-plugins/ directory read only for this. All files in
other directories are not allowed.
