I guess you can check the permissions of the authorized_keys file (600) and the folder .ssh (700), other than that, maybe the HPUX security logs can help.

Hi Sara,

Please find the steps below,

1. Create check_mk user

useradd -u 50002 -g 20 -m -d /home/check_mk -s /usr/bin/ksh check_mk

2. Set password for the user

passwd check_mk

3. create the below mentioned directory and assign the required permissions

mkdir /home/check_mk/checkmk/bin

chown check_mk:users /home/check_mk/checkmk/bin

chmod 700 /home/check_mk/checkmk/bin

4. Copy the check_mk_agent.hpux file under /home/check_mk/checkmk/bin location and assign the necessary permission

chown check_mk:users /home/check_mk/checkmk/bin/check_mk_agent.hpux

chmod 700 /home/check_mk/checkmk/bin/check_mk_agent.hpux

5. Copy the ssh key in /home/check_mk/.ssh/authorized_keys
