After installing and successfully starting nagios server you may encounter a warning:
Starting nagios: No directory, logging in with HOME=
This is reported because install script or you didn’t create a /home directory for user nagios.
To solve this simply follow these steps:
Create a /home/nagios directory and change permissions (all executed as sudo):
mkdir/home/nagios chown-R nagios:nagios/home/nagios
Then set new home directory for user nagios:
usermod --home /home/nagios nagios
Finally restart nagios service:
service nagios restart
That’s it, no more logging in to /Home Warning :)
