Please configure sudo as follows: ``` nagios ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/up2date -l ``` and execute the plugin with sudo ``` sudo $INSTALLATION_PATH/check_updates ``` ## DNF DNF uses different caches per user. This has the consequence that DNF and the plugin will potentially deliver different results for different users. ## Yum security plugin Use one of the following commands to install the yum security plugin: - Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x, CentOS 6.x, Scientific Linux 6.x systems: ``` yum install yum-plugin-security ``` - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x, CentOS 5.x and Scientific Linux 5.x systems: ``` yum install yum-security ```
