[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#717229: nagios-plugins-basic: check_ssh returns warning state incorrectly

[Kiko Piris]

Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.16-2
Severity: normal

In /etc/nagios-plugins/config/ssh.cfg, check_ssh is called with a second
argument '$ARG1$' which causes the plugin to return this:

Usage:
check_ssh [-46] [-t <timeout>] [-r <remote version>] [-p <port>] <host>

Making nagios believe that the service is in a warning sate.

Removing that second argument (see following trivial patch as an example) makes
check_ssh work as expected:
