  • Problem with Passphrase
    Post date: Sunday, May 26, 2013 - 19:47

    Hi,

    I use a linux root server with "private key file" + passhprase for my projects. The user root have no login with password(security reason). Login with file+passphrase working fine in windows with winscp and putty. I have for testing download cwrsync and use this command:

    rsync -av -e "ssh -i /cygdrive/c/auth.ppk" root@remote-ip:/folder/ /cygwin/c/folder

    "C:\auth.ppk" is my years old file for login with putty. With this command, I get this:

    Enter passphrase for key '/cygdrive/c/auth.ppk':

  • Hard state is wrong state
    Post date: Thursday, May 16, 2013 - 14:41

    Hello everyone,

    I am running Nagwin 1.3.1 free edition on a Windows Server 2003 box.

    After setting up Nagwin itself, and configuring some Windows server to be monitored using the NRPE-client everything went well for a few days. Today, however, desaster struck.

    When one of my Windows servers went down due to a hardware failure, Nagwin showed the machine to be up and running, meaning that in Nagwin's web-interface everything showed green, and no notifcations whatsoever where sent.

  • Non password SSH connect Windows to Linux
    Post date: Monday, May 13, 2013 - 20:44

    I am trying to pull information from a RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.3 server to a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. I have installed the cwRsync client on the Windows rsync client, I have created and copied the id_rsa.pub file from the Windows client to the Linux rsync host and imported the id_rsa.pub public key into the authorized_hosts file on the Linux side. Everything works great to pull from Linux to Windows, as long as I run the command manually and input the Linux user password when prompted on the Windows client.

    Hi everyone,

    I've been trying to set up WMI-based monitoring of my Windows-boes. however when staritng up the Nagios-Service I receive the error message, that the host-template "host-pnp" and service-template "srv-pnp" are missing.

    These host- and service-definitions are missing in the default templates-cfg.

    Where can I get these ?

    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Error "Parsing problems during import operation.Operation cancelled." when importing an rsa public key in CopSSG control center
    Post date: Monday, April 29, 2013 - 13:53

    Hi,

    I'm having a hard time trying to import public keys into CopSSH and hope that someone has an idea how to fix this. There are 2 hosts involved:

    cdgenp08 ist the W2k3 R2 SP server with CopSSH 4.2.2

    cdlogp11 is a Linux server

    I want to scp files between both hosts. In this regard, cdlogp11 should be able to logon into cdgenp08 without delivering a password.

    I retrieved cdlogp11's public key by issuing "ssh-keyscan.exe -4 cdlogp11 > KEYFILE" on cdgenp08. The content of KEYFILE looks like this:

  • monitor oracle rac
    Post date: Saturday, April 27, 2013 - 21:59

    Hello,

     

     I need to try to and monitor 3 Oracle Rac nodes with the check_oracle plugin. For now we're just trying to accomplish basic database alive and TNS ping. The poblem I'm experiencing is that the ORACLE_SID value 'floats' betweeen the 3 nodes. And by that I mean that where normally a line like this in nrpe.cfg would work:

     

    command[check_ora_tnsping_ourdb]=/opt/nagios/libexec/check_ourdb_tnsping --tns OUR_SID_1  dbaccount secret

     

     

    It will only work for a period of time. Eventually any given node could come to host:

    Hello,

     

    I'm trying to get specific SNMP info from a host,

    I have been struggling to get this check_snmp_generic plugin from

    I have already put other perl plugins in Nagwin which work fine.

    I can run check_snmp_generic.pl just fine from the command prompt,

  • UNC Path / Version 4.0.5
    Post date: Thursday, April 18, 2013 - 09:11

    Hi,

    we are using 4.0.5 on Windows 7 / 2008 R2 for internal uses and it is working well.

    But we have problems in using UNC-paths in rsyncd.conf. We tried several versions like

     

    path = /server/share

    path = /cygdrive/server/share

     

    but none worked. For testing, "everyone" has read-access to the share.

    What is the correct path-naming for UNC? Please help 

  • rbldnsd: unknown user `rbldns'
    Post date: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - 17:05

    Hello,

    I'm migrating my mail server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.

    I installed wrbldnsd 3.0.1.

    When I attempt to start the service, I get the "rbldnsd: unknown user `rbldns'" error in the log file.

    I attempted to use the bash commands given in the previous post (/content/run-error-rbldnsd-unknown-user-rbldns) about this error.

    That just created blank files with those names and I continue to get the error message.

    Has there been any progress on this?

    Thanks!

  • Compatibility question between Copssh and cwRsync

    I see there is a security update for Copssh 4.4.2 and cwRsync 5.0.4  (  /content/copssh-openssl-security-updates-and-updated-tools  ).  Now there is an even newer version of Copssh, version 4.4.3, that is available with some additional security updates that we would like to use in our environment.  The question I have is Copssh 4.4.3 compatible with cwRsync 5.0.4 or not?

  • No Local login
    Post date: Thursday, March 21, 2013 - 15:54

    I am looking for a way to use Copssh without having a local login on the system. In the environment where I am using this it is rather strict and they only allow local logins from the IT dept. I know that Copssh can use Domain logins for users and at install you can substitue a domain login for the SvcCOPSSH login, but the install still creates a SSHD local login. Has anyone found a way around the local login requirement? Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thank you.

    Post date: Friday, March 15, 2013 - 23:58

    I am having issues with --addfile working for Office 2013 clients.  It works fine for 2010 but in 2013 the image is linked to a local directory on the senders PC which results in a broken image.  We had a much older version of ADOLSIGN (2.0.0) and I downloaded the lastest version to test it.  If I run it in a CMD prompt on a 2013 client I get a "No profile information is found" message.  This message does not appear for 2010 clients.

  • check_winfile "FILE UNKNOWN - Target does not exist" problem through WinRPE
    Post date: Thursday, March 14, 2013 - 18:51

    Hello,

     

    I have been trying to monitor a simple backup job on a testserver via WinRPE.

    I try to monitor if the file B:\WindowsImageBackup\NagiosBackup\Catalog\GlobalCatalog is older then 1 hour, with this command:
    check_winfile --target B:\WindowsImageBackup\NagiosBackup\Catalog\GlobalCatalog --filter "age le -1 hours" --critical 0

    It works perfectly when I do that local, on the Backup Server,
    however when copy-paste that command in nrpe.cfg and try to monitor via NRPE,
    the Nagios Server says: FILE UNKNOWN - Target does not exist.

  • cwRsync and CopSSH between two Windows computers
    Post date: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 - 02:08

    Hi, I am trying to set up cwRsync between two computers to backup the server computer that we use at work on an external harddrive offsite. I am having some technical issues getting it all set up. I tried as best I could to follow the directions in the FAQs, but hit a snag. 

    I tried testing to make sure the computers were connected via ssh, but the operation kept timing out (I even made sure port 22 was forwarded to computer we are going to use as backup).

    Is there a detailed outline of the steps that need to be done to get this all to work?

  • Authenication
    Post date: Thursday, February 28, 2013 - 19:24

    On a window7 machine, when entering a new user with domain (ex.  domain\user), the Copssh ignores the \ thus not being able to create the new account.

     

    It happens both thru the GUI and using a command prompt.  Anything I can try?
