basename & utils.sh
by W4rlock, October 31, 2013
If you get
./check_smb_share: line 11: ./utils.sh: No such file or directory
then you have to move the script to the Nagios libexec dir, because it uses the utils.sh from there
Or you change the Progpath on line 8 manually

I had to change Line 7 from
PROGNAME=`/bin/basename $0`
to
PROGNAME=`/usr/bin/basename $0`

Good simple plugin that does the job
by hypertone, January 31, 2012
This is just what I was looking for. It does require the tweak mwrenfo suggested to work with Server 2008.

by Majed, August 31, 2011
though it doesn't work directly from nagios like i though i does check linux servers through nrpe gives:
OK Domain=[PLG] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.12]
had to use another plugin to check specific shares.

Possible fix for CRITICAL SMB anon access
by mwrenfro, June 30, 2010
If you're using Server 2008R2, it appears that it doesn't like check_smb using $HOSTADDRESS$. Use $HOSTNAME$ instead, and it should work.

Nice and easy, but...
by bitbox, May 31, 2010
This works like a charm for windows machines, but I have two servers on my network which run linux and different versions of samba. Both are configured with security = ads and guest login doesn't seem to work under this condition. This is not a problem of this plugin though, but it would be nice to have a way to check these types of server as well.

Issue "CRITICAL SMB anon access"
by zarko, March 31, 2010
Hi there

Great work of using ‘smbclient’ for testing samba functionality.

The thing is that plugin works perfect from CLI but Nagios gives me “CRITICAL SMB anon access: “.

Appreciate any idea/suggestion.
Thanks in advance.
