OK, so I removed the RPM I'd built and installed the NRPE and NRPE plugin from RHEL 5.3 (Icinga server) and 5.7 (Icinga client). And yes, that server is slated to be upgraded to 5.7 very soon (I'm new here and that is one of my last systems to upgrade) Here is a list of what I've built and installed on the Icinga server (the 5.3 box) [root@solexa-db icinga-nrpe]# rpm -qa | grep -i icinga icinga-doc-1.6.1-1 icinga-idoutils-1.6.1-1 icinga-1.6.1-1 icinga-gui-1.6.1-1 As well as : nagios-plugins-nrpe-2.12-16.el5 And on my 5.7 client : nagios-plugins-1.4.15-1 I believe those were listed as "stable" on the Icinga site. Even with the NRPE from RHEL I'm having the same issue. > or head over to wiki.icinga.org - howtos and check for some shortcut > install guides for debian or rhel.
