Paride,

IF the nagios user is in LDAP, then /var/run/nagios will not be created
by systemd at boot time, or any time after that.

I can confirm that the following sequences fail to get nagios-nrpe-
server running:

sudo service nagios-nrpe-server restart

sudo service nagios-nrpe-server stop
sudo service nagios-nrpe-server start

sudo systemctl stop nagios-nrpe-server
sudo systemctl start nagios-nrpe-server

Nothing in there triggers systems to create the missing directory:

May 05 11:04:08 dmz-gnt03-04 systemd[1]: Started Nagios Remote Plugin Executor.
May 05 11:04:08 dmz-gnt03-04 nrpe[10603]: Starting up daemon
May 05 11:04:08 dmz-gnt03-04 nrpe[10603]: Cannot write to pidfile 
'/var/run/nagios/nrpe.pid' - check your privileges.
May 05 11:04:08 dmz-gnt03-04 systemd[1]: nagios-nrpe-server.service: Main 
process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
May 05 11:04:08 dmz-gnt03-04 systemd[1]: nagios-nrpe-server.service: Failed 
with result 'exit-code'.

> ls -ld /var/run/nagios
ls: cannot access '/var/run/nagios': No such file or directory

The only recourse is manual mkdir/chown.
