FreeBSD and Nagios - permissions

[Edwin Groothuis]

> The nrpe daemon that handles the script runs as the "nagios" user and
> the command needed is camcontrol:

First lines of the check_ciss.sh command:

    #!/bin/sh

    if [ $(whoami) != "root" ]; then
	    sudo $*
    fi

And allow in sudoerrs.conf the nagios user to run the check_ciss.sh
command without passwords.

Works fine here for years :-)
