[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#525307: check_smtp: invalid option -- n

[Vladislav Kurz]

Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.12-5
Severity: normal

Hello,

check_smtp plugin does not implement option -n

 -n, nocommand
    Suppress SMTP command

I monitor a SMTP server that refuses the connection immediately,
without waiting for HELO. Before upgrade to lenny I used this command:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_smtp -H novell.vkol.cz -e 520

and it was OK.
Now I get error: recv() failed
and status is WARNING. I thought -n would help to get rid of this recv() errror,
but it seems broken.

Regards
Vladislav Kurz
