[Nagiosplug-help] problems with log stale time in check_nagios

[james.carter at hyderconsulting.com]

I've been running netsaint and now nagios for a couple of years now with no
problem, however over the last weekend I've had a problem with
check_nagios. It returns a correct check to say it can find the local
processes but the last update time for the status.log file id huge (around
1058188037 seconds). As this breaks the 5 minute check in check_nagios all
the cgi interfaces are blank.

I'm running on Debian 3.0 with all the latest updates installed on x86.
Time is set via ntp and is correct.
Nagios is 1.1 (built from source) but the same problem occurs in 1.0
plugins are 1.3.1 (built from source)


I've tried searching the lists and faq's but the search interfaces are not
good !

any ideas ?

thanks
