Installation

su - bb

wget http://pvalentino.pvalentino.lan/install/nagios/nagiosclient.tgz

cd to ~bb

tar zxvpf nagiosclient.tgz

chown bb.bb nagios/*

ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

the nagios user requires the ssh keys from bb so that it can issue ssh commands

ssh bb@hostname must work!!!
