I have applied the patch to NRPE for CentOS and Solaris and it seems to solve 
the problem. Now I just get either an "SSL handshake failure" or "Network 
server getpeername() failure (22: Invalid argument)". Which would probably be 
expected coming from nmap connecting to the port.

I have been using my own build from source for all my server platforms 
(CentOS/RedHat/Suse/Solaris/AIX). I did try Ubuntu's build of NRPE on my 
desktop and that didn't seem to have the problem. So they must have some patch 
in their build.

I will run this patch on a couple of servers over the weekend and make sure I 
don't have any problems.

Thanks for the help!
