I had activated the sudo wrapping in nrpe.cfg and that made it go away...

now i switched that back to normal and the timeout to 180.

lets see what happens.

sudo isn't needed since 11.0 - so I'll be very surprised if you need it on your 11.1 system. But thanks for increasing the timeout value, hopefully this already fixes the problem.

and btw if i do "zypper -r ref" as a normal user i get lots of messages saying "the repository ... is outdated, you can refresh it by running zypper as root."

Here's an example how the plugin output should look like in such a case (System is openSUSE 11.0 x86_64, check_zypper is Version 1.21): nagios@testing:~ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_zypper Updates CRITICAL : At least one of your Repositories is out of date. Please run "zypper refresh" as root to update it. 8 package update(s); | security=0;;;; recommended=0;;;; optional=0;;;; packages=8;;;; But maybe the outdated repos are a good hint for the problem. As far as I see from comment #8, you've just the official Update repository and the Packman repository enabled on your system, right? 1) Can you please print the output of "zypper sl -u" on your system 2) What if you enable a "full repository" like openSUSE-11.1 OSS and run check_zypper again? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
