Hi Eric,

Yep! Both hosts have nagios user accounts.
Demonstrating from the client:
[root@ops:~] #id nagios
uid=2002(nagios) gid=2002(nagios) groups=2002(nagios),2008(nagioscmd)
And this is from the monitoring server:
[root@monitor1:~] #id nagios
uid=1001(nagios) gid=1001(nagios) groups=1001(nagios),1002(nagcmd)
I do notice a slight difference in the user id and group id numbers. But I
don't think that could be causing any issue. Does anyone else disagree?
I might want to standardize user accounts at some point howver.
Thanks!
Tim
