[Xymon] xymon-rclient.sh

[Root, Paul T]

Yes. The xymon-rclient script scp’s the proper script from ~/client/bin to the client and runs it.

You’ll have to look at the script to see if it is using scp or if it is using a perl module for scp. I’m guessing the former.

Xymon server is Ubuntu and Scp is not installed.  Could that have something to do with my problems?


Thank you.

I believe FreeNas is based on FreeBSD. So that should be close.

Can you provide the output of what  I sent yesterday? That is scping the freebsd client script and running it.
That is going to provide the debugging info needed.

My guess is that the FreeBSD client script will need to be modified (and renamed) to work for FreeNas.

I've modified a few things but haven't gotten any successful results.  See below.

My hosts.cfg.  I've tried (freebsd) and also (linux) with the same failed results.
1.2.3.4  freenas.domain.com        # trace ssh "RCLIENT:cmd(ssh -T -i /home/xymon/.ssh/xymon-rclient root@%{H}),ostype(freebsd)"

Log results.

I can enter the following at command line and get positive result without a password being requested from the client.
#su xymon
# ssh -T -i /home/xymon/.ssh/xymon-rclient root at freenas.domain.com<mailto:root at freenas.mydomainname.com> uname -n

Thank you.

Oh, I glossed right over that. If you aren’t going to use the default file name for the identity file, then you have to tell xymon to use that non-standard file as well. That doesn’t seem to be an option for the command. So you’d need to either change the command to take that as input, or make the filename the default.

Good

Here's what I have in my hosts.cfg file.
1.2.3.4  FreeNAS  # trace ssh https://freenas.mydomainname.com "RCLIENT:cmd(ssh -T root at freenas.mydomainname.com<http://freenas.mydomainname.com>),ostype(freebsd)"

I wonder if this is the problem.  By default, ssh will try to use a key file called "identity", then it will try "id_rsa" and finally "id_dsa" (all in the .ssh directory).  So to use a different key file, you use "-i <dirname/filename>" on the command-line.  If you need to do this when you do the "uname -n" test, then you probably also need to specify it in the cmd() specification in hosts.cfg.
