NRPE+xinetd error

Hello, everyone. I have searched for messages regarding a similar
problem to no avail, so I'm posting here.
My setup is using check_nrpe (2.0b4, SSL enabled) with xinetd to poll
several servers. It works like a charm, but sometimes Nagios starts to
report this error on some services:
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
The service status goes to CRITICAL, and (I think) that is expected.
Trying to figure out what's going on I saw that xinetd starts to output
error messages like this:
Jul 17 10:49:31 localhost xinetd[8700]: FAIL: nrpe service_limit
from=a.b.c.d
That is normal behavior for xinetd when the service in regard reaches a
certain number of processes. As expected, netstat -anp shows lots
of nrpe connections:
tcp 0 0 d.e.f.g:5666 a.b.c.d:56103
ESTABLISHED 5825/nrpe
(many of these follows)
So I figure nrpe is not releasing the connection and dying. At first I
had the REUSE flag on my xinetd, but after removing I still get that
problem sometimes. Here is my /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
service nrpe
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = a.b.c.d
}
Next I'll try to recompile nrpe without SSL support, but I wanted to
see if anyone had this problem before re-deploying on a bunch of
servers. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
