Password maintenance of Nagios xi
If local Linux accounts password have to be changed periodically by PAM such as cyberark, what local accounts are used by Nagios xi to perform operations? Is a user called nagios which's in /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg only has to be changed? Pls list out if any. Current version of Nagios xi is 5.4.13.
