To monitor some system services, we start nrpe from root. Without root privilage also, we can start this service.
tcp is in FMRI since i am using the autogenerated nrpe.xml file. NRPE required xinet service which is unavailable in solaris AFIK. I got info from some link http://tarique21.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/binding-nrpe-with-inetdxinetd-on-solaris-10/ to simulate this feature on solaris. If I am supposed to change anything here, let me know please. I can do the changes regarding this.
