File monitoring-plugins-smart-README.SUSE of Package monitoring-plugins-smart.16250
Two notes about the plugin and the security: 1) Apparmor profile If you enable Apparmor on your machine, there is a special apparmor profile file: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.nagios.plugins.check_smart that tries to encapsulate the script. But as there is currently no special Apparmor profile for 'sudo' calls, once someone is able to edit the script itself, he will be able to compromise your system completely. But as the script is installed with ownership root:root and permissions 755, it might already be a problem if someone is able to edit this script... 2) sudo rights The check plugin 'check_smart' uses sudo to call the smartctl command. In openSUSE 11.4 and beyond, there is a special file: /etc/sudoers.d/monitoring-plugins-smart that contain the needed entry for sudo, so there is no need for manual adaptions. If you run this script on older distributions (als SLES 11 and SLES 10 is 'old' here as they contain an older sudo), you need to add a line like the following one to your /etc/sudoers file (via 'visudo'): nagios ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/smartctl
