nrpe giving garbled information in status info

[Rob Ford]

Hopefully somebody will be able to help?

I have installed Nagios 1.1 on a Sun 220R running Solaris 8, so far it is working really well and I have it monitoring public services on a number of servers.

I am keen to start monitoring various private services and have installed the nrpe 1.8 client, I have looked through the various help files and forums and I'm pretty sure I have it running correctly.  If I run 

./check_nrpe - H eris -p 5666 it gives me a version

If I run...

./check_nrpe -H eris -p 5666 -c rootdisk
x¼¨ß¼¨ßUôh - this is what I get

I am running nrpe as a daemon and I have tried installing version 2 but couldn't get it to compile.

All the private plugins work fine when I run them locally on my nagios server.  The servers are on the same LAN and there are no firewalls in between.

I have looked through the maliing-lists and a couple of people have had the same problem, but haven't mentioned any resolution

Can anyone help me?

Regards
Rob
