Hmm, that is interesting, what process did you use to upgrade perl-5.8.8 on the machine? The production boxes I have done thus far are running FreeBSD 7.1 i386 and had perl-5.8.8 upgraded to perl-5.8.9 via portupgrade. To mass-fix the file locations, perl-after-upgrade was run and then nagios-3.0.6 rebuilt as per its warning. > I built a version with debugging symbols and ran it under gdb and it > said that there nagios received a segmentation fault from perl.

It would be interesting to know how far into the startup process it is getting before it barfs, sounds like one of the plugins is throwing the fault - not Nagios itself. Does nagios.log give any indication to this? > Unfortunately, I didn't save the exact message that I saw. The software > is in use on a production machine.

If you are able to reproduce the error, the kdump.out file generated below would be helpful though mail it off-list as it will contain copies of your Nagios configuration files, at a minimum. ktrace -dit+ /usr/local/bin/nagios /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg kdump > kdump.out > I saw one other report of this problem on the net > > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/59163 > > Sorry for the sketchy report, Any other details you can provide me would be helpful, FreeBSD version, architecture, list of installed ports.
