execvpe(/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_fritz) failed: Permission denied

Hi,

I just set up a new Icinga2 monitoring instance and began adding hosts starting with my Fritz!Box 5490. This is when I came across this amazing plugin. I installed it according to the "Installtion" chapter in the docs without any issues, but as soon as I restart the icinga2 service I am getting the above error displayed for the check on my IcingaWeb2 dashboard.

The icinga2 log (/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log) shows the following recurring entry: [2020-06-30 08:16:00 +0200] warning/PluginCheckTask: Check command for object 'FRITZBox 5490!WAN Status' (PID: 143277, arguments: '/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_fritz' '--method' 'connection_status' '--password' 'xxxxxxxx' '--username' 'icinga2') terminated with exit code 128, output: execvpe(/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_fritz) failed: Permission denied

So I thought I messed up my file permission which look like this:

[root@z25-icinga-mstr admin]# ls -la /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
insgesamt 14100
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root      4096 29. Jun 14:58 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root        21 29. Aug 2019  ..
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root     34136 24. Mai 23:03 check_dummy
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root      5066 24. Mai 23:03 check_file_age
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root      6504 24. Mai 23:03 check_flexlm
-rwsr-x---. 1 root nagios   59784 24. Mai 23:03 check_fping
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root icinga 7499745 29. Jun 14:57 check_fritz
...

Note that I added the "icinga" group while debugging it used to be root like almost all file in the plugins directory.

To be sure it is not a permission issue I tried running the check manually as the "icinga" user, which works fine: [root@xxxxxx xxxx]# sudo -H -u icinga '/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_fritz' '--method' 'connection_status' '--password' 'xxxxxxxx' '--username' 'icinga2' OK - Connection Status: Connected; External IP: 89.245.xxx.xxx

Any suggestion on what might be wrong here?

Edit: Just found another clue. The error seems to be caused by SELinux:

Hi,

which OS you are using? Typically the icinga user is used on RPM based distributions like CentOS, Red Hat, but you also have a nagios user which is typically for DEB based distributions like Debian, Ubuntu.

Did you copied/moved the check_fritz plugin from your home directory to your plugin directory? It is labeled unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t so it hat the wrong context. You can restore the correct context with restorecon -v /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_fritz

Indeed this is exactly what happend and your suggestion works perfectly, many thanks. Maybe you could include a heads up in the docs for (SE)Linux noobs like me. :)
