Hi, thanks for response !

My first thought was that the Xymon client has no permissions to read the file.  But as it can read the directory, and the permissions reported on the file allow world-read access, this theory is incorrect.

yes, the permissions are ok

However, if you're running selinux, there might be a similar restriction.  

selinux is disabeld/not running

Try logging in as the Xymon user and running "md5sum" on the file to see what happens.

.. already test it, hobbit/xymon can run md5sum and got a result

[bird037] ~ $ whoami hobbit [bird037] ~ $ sha1sum /usr/local/etc/post_install 1ad7bc5d363dd6896f3f893402c93fb96d6fed69 /usr/local/etc/post_install [bird037] ~ $ md5sum /usr/local/etc/post_install 5a6bdac94e99d42723303330b50cc5ba /usr/local/etc/post_install [bird037] ~ $

Or, try using a different hash.

Yep, that i'm testing in this moment, but unfortunatley got the same result :-(

Alert with: red /usr/local/etc/post_install File has MD5 hash (No MD5 data) - should be 5a6bdac94e99d42723303330b50cc5ba File has SHA1 hash (No SHA1 data) - should be 1ad7bc5d363dd6896f3f893402c93fb96d6fed69

  Hi !

  I've got an problem with one host to get the md5sum of a file
  which is distributed also on several other machines,
  where the file-md5-check runs without any problem ....

  bad machine:

  Evrythin seems to be ok

  bird037] /usr/lib/hobbit/client # cat tmp/logfetch.bird037.cfg
  file:/usr/local/etc/post_install:md5
  file:/etc/krb5.keytab:md5


  but:

  but in reality i've got no md5sum for this file and consequentially an alert-mail :-(

  Got anybody an hint how to debug/solve this error ?

  thanks & cheers
