error in 3510
list Jose Erquicia
Hi i have troubles with a client hobbit and an ext monitor for 3510 (bb-3510fc.pl). seems that it needs to be lounched with a setuid (as root), ...allright but at the line exec "$BBHOME/bin/bb $BBDISP \"$LINE\""; i get this error: Insecure dependency in exec while running with -T switch at /dev/fd/4 line 269 Something with perl? any idea? delete this hobbit client and install a big brother one ? regards.

Yep, Perl issue
delete this hobbit client and install a big brother one ?
Just for the record, bb-3510fc.pl isn't a Hobbit client - it's an add-on script which is developed independently. And it's actually an older Big Brother add-on (from www.deadcat.net). Regards, Henrik

Hi , thanks for the answer. yes it is an old add-on, but the curious thing is that it works correctly if i execute it directly in the client . (debug) client# ./bb-3510.pl only fails executing it normaly(./runclient.sh ....) whe it has to send data to the server .. the line $BBHOME/bin/bb $BBDISP \"$LINE\ 2008/12/17 Henrik Størner <user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid>

What OS is this on, I'm assuming Solaris of some form, would a better method be to setup pfexec / sudo to execute the file rather than setting it setuid root which could be the cause of your issue. Mike
