Summary: accept environ for check_by_ssh / others
Initial Comment:
I came to realize that due to the use of spopen and the
execve call, that the check_by_ssh script will ignore
environmental variables.
I think it would be very usefull to potentially allow
environmental variables / a method for defining certain
variables.
For me, this came up, because I am using a kerberized
(or more properly a gssapi hacked) ssh. I would like the
ability to use the KRB5CCNAME environment variable
so that I can define a credentials cache for nagios to
use - and handle all check_by_ssh checks via gssapi
authentication.
I imagine that there are other hacks/uses of ssh which
also depend on the env variables to be correctly set.
Has anyone else come across problems w/ plugins that
use the spopen function not being able to properly set
environmental variables? Any solutions?
