Hi, I'm implementing a shell script as a Nagios plugin to check the status of the ciss(4) driver. However, there is a permission problem that I am not sure about the best way to get around in FreeBSD (7-STABLE). The nrpe daemon that handles the script runs as the "nagios" user and the command needed is camcontrol: camcontrol inquiry da0 The nagios user does not have a shell by default in FreeBSD: nagios:*:181:181::0:0:Nagios pseudo-user:/var/spool/nagios:/usr/sbin/nologin so the script will obviously fail. I would assume there are several ways to get around this and would welcome "best practice" suggestions on how. Thanks, --per
