That was copy and paste and it was incorrect in my config file as well. Thanks for pointing it out. :) I used that port (as a newbie that I am) because I saw it in the examples provided online. I have no clue what this value should really be.
You're right, the way I've configured NRPE is to used TCP wrappers, but I'm 100% sure this works as I send a simple check_disk command using NRPE and I get the proper response. Furthermore, I do have nrpe added to /etc/services and configured the nagios server to be allowed to communicate with the NRPE daemon which can be proven by the issuing commands like the one above. -----Original Message----- From: Jay R.

If you're sending arguments and the target nrpe was configured to reject them it will also bounce. But not the way you're seeing. I've heard that some builds of the nrpe daemon are configured to use TPC wrappers, and thus require a properly configured /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} (which also implies adding nrpe to /etc/services). Could one of those things be your problem? Cheers, -- jr '(just started yesterday. yes, I learn fast :-)' a -- Jay R.
