Hello,

i use nagios-plugins 1.4.5 on opensuse 10.2 and have the problem to
check a host via snmp which has a singe character in its hostname.

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ifoperstatus -H blabla.x.mydom.loc -C
mycomm -v 1 -k 1  -t 30 -D w

returns error / syntax.

same command on blabla.xy.mydom.loc works fine.


patching as follows soved the problem:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035 says:

"...There are also some
restrictions on the length.  Labels must be 63 characters or less.

For example, the following strings identify hosts in the Internet:

A.ISI.EDU XX.LCS.MIT.EDU SRI-NIC.ARPA"


is this a bug in nagios?

regards, georg
