Okay, now I think I am more confused than when I started. When I run '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost' on the remote server I get the following:
'NRPE v2.12' which is what I would expect however when I run '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -n' on the remote server I get the following: 'CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from the daemon.' -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Quintin Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 6:22 AM To: Scott Ackerman Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE Install Error Hi Scott, This can be an annoying problem with NRPE. First make sure NRPE works ok without ssl (using the -n switch): On the host running the NRPE daemon do: nrpe -n -d -c <config file> On the Nagios host do: check_nrpe -n -H <IP> -c <command> -a <args> After that works, you'll need to check to make sure that - NRPE is the same version on both hosts. - OpenSSL libraries are the same version on both hosts. After that, I don't know... For me the problem has been different SSL versions almost every time. It's annoying enough that I'm considering alternatives to NRPE. Good luck! :) On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 8:01 AM, Scott Ackerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Shankar, > > thanks for the help.
