please backport nagios 3 from intrepid to hardy

Confirmed indicates it's been tested to build, install, and run on Hardy. Please leave it incomplete/New until testing is complete.

I thought that the last comment in the report below indicated that I was supposed to mark this bug as confirmed. Also, I thought confirmed meant that the bug existed and has been noted.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/227595

I would also like to see this backported and I'm writing this to keep this bug from expiring.

I've been using the .debs supplied by Roger Ward https://launchpad.net/~rogerw/+archive

they are the back port we seek, I believe.

One problem, as far as I can tell the NRPE daemon was NOT compiled with support for command arguments

which is bad.

So roger, recompile please and then your package gets my two thumbs up.. :)

The compile option you mention is enabled. Apt-get source nagios-nrpe-plugin
and look in

~/nagios-nrpe-2.12/debian/rules

Maybe the configuration option required is not set on your system? Are you
running the package version from the ppa? Its ok either way, but I see it
enabled.

Let me know what you find.

note to self, RTFM ... I need a program that forces me to read every readme before it will let me touch the keyboard :P

from the SECURITY readme:

ENABLING ARGUMENTS
------------------

To enable support for command argument in the daemon, you must
do two things:

   1. Run the configure script with the --enable-command-args
       option

   2. Set the 'dont_blame_nrpe' directive in the NRPE config
       file to 1.

Thanks for the packages Roger!

Oh sure, now ff3 remembers my launchpad account. thats me, govinda above.
now i've confused everybody...

Thanks roger! your package works perfectly!

no problem. All I did were a few minor tweaks to the Debian package. That
and I actually use the package.

I confirm this. Please add to backports! thx a lot

I would like to see Nagios 3 backported as well. We use Hardy at work because of LTS.

Been using Roger Ward's ppa in production since last november. FTW!

I installed Roger's package and haven't had any problems. It was installed and ran on Hardy A-OK. What exactly is necessary to get this package added to backports?

I've just installed Roger's package. It's fine except that the stylesheets symlink is in /usr/share/nagios3 when I think it should be /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs. It doesn't make sense to have it outside the document root. I haven't used Nagios before though so maybe I'm missing something.

It looks like this bug requests a backport from Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid
Ibex). However, as Intrepid is no longer supported, such a backport is
no longer possible.

This bug is being set to "Won't Fix". If you would still like to move
forward with this backport request, please re-open the bug and adjust
it to request a backport from a current release.
