'''4.2 Create Account Information'''

1. While you still have root ~~privilages~~ privileges from a previous step, create a new nagios user account and give it a password.

<code>useradd -m nagios </code>

1. Create a nagiosadmin account for logging into the Nagios web interface.

<code>htpasswd -c /~~usr/local~~etc/nagios~~/etc~~/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin </code>

Type the password: (your password is here)

<pre>Note: When you have installed all the required plugins, using the “yum” utility, you will have to exhibit due diligence by

ensuring that the ~~“ check_nrpe”~~ “check_nrpe” plugin and check_nagios plugin is located in the /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins directory. If the

check_nrpe plugin is not present you will have either copy it from a compatible machine that holds it on the its system, or try

uninstalling the previous installation of the nagios plugins and proceed to re-installing the plugins again, using yum install. </pre>
