Re: check_by_ssh from nagios user

If the bluecoat is configured to allow root login, then make sure that the nagios machine's nagios user's public key is in the bluecoat machine's root user's authorized_keys file. Otherwise just log in as the nagios user. For security reasons it's most likely a better idea to work as a noon-root user anyway.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_by_ssh from nagios user

Hello
i want to monitor a bluecoat reporter with check_by_ssh as nrpe or snmp are not available.

when i loggin from nagios user using simple ssh I can login
when i execute check_by_ssh from root user and execute a command it does work

when i execute check_by_ssh from the nagios user on the nagios server it does not work.. the public key is not taken into account as it request the password despite the fact that i add -i option to check_by_ssh..

do you have an idea what could this be? is it the bluecoat reporter which is refusing check_by_ssh, why does not refuse when i just use ssh ..

note I am conneciting from nagios user on nagios server to root user on bluecoat reporter..maybe i should try to login to nagios user on the remote system?

i am out of ideas

thanks
