[Nagiosplug-devel] check_dns: DNS WARNING - nslookup returned error status

[Ton Voon]

Hi!

I've had a think about this problem and regardless of Red Hat's fix  
(and it looks like it is something in their kernel, rather than  
incorrect programming on our side), we going to need to have a patch  
for this in the plugins. However, since it is only for the redhat  
kernel, I'm not convinced that popen.c should be changed globally.

So I've just applied a patch where the configure script will pick up  
if this problem exists on red hat systems only. Peter's patch has  
been added to popen.c with ifdefs around it.

Let me know if you agree or disagree with this method.

Sascha, I'll still like to know what Red Hat say about this problem,  
even if it is just to amend the configure script to report their  
patch number to fix.

I've tested this on a redhat server with the problem and on a Debian  
server and it appears to work fine. I'd be grateful for any other  
reports before releasing a 1.4.2 version.

Ton
