There seems to be a problem with the nagios2-common configure script. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# aptitude install nagios2-common [...] Setting up nagios2-common (2.5-3) ... Adding system-user for nagios Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN [useradd help dump] mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/stu/--system/public_html': No such file or directory chown: unrecognised option `--system:student' Try `chown --help' for more information. passwd: unrecognised option `--system' [passwd help dump] dpkg: error processing nagios2-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6
Something in the configure script is mangling the commands passed to mkdir, chown, and passwd. I simply added the 'nagios' user by hand and things worked again. -- Steve Garcia [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
