When you use useradd to create the zenoss user Ubuntu will generate a .bashrc file for you. In order for zenoss to run correctly you will need to comment out the lines as follows.

Orginal :

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

Editted: 

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
#[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

13. Some zenoss daemons require root access, so add zenoss to sudo users. Login as root:
 visudo    (loads sudo editor - nano in this case - add the following 2 lines)

zenoss monitor = NOPASSWD: /usr/local/zenoss/bin/*,/bin/kill
Defaults env_keep += "PYTHONPATH ZENHOME"

 

Edit this: 

monitor = name of the maschine!!!
