Severity: important

check_raid uses "which" to try and work out which RAID utilities are on
the system

However, because nagios and nrpe run as a non-root user, it fails to
discover RAID utilities in /usr/sbin, /sbin, ... and therefore it
doesn't check those that it can't find

For nrpe, it is possible to work around it with the following in
/etc/nrpe.cfg:

   command_prefix=/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH

I observed this particular problem with the hpacucli - I use the
packaged version which is in /usr/sbin

I've marked this bug as important because not monitoring RAID correctly
may lead to data loss
