NRPE just won't start on Solaris.

Have a check in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
what does the server_port say it is set to.
By default it should be 5666 , but your error logs seem to say it is trying to use port 125 that is all ready used by something else.
 
I would also try running from the command line e.g
/usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d
 
To see if that sheds any light on the problem.
 
Hope this help's

Hello,

I am trying to get NRPE running on a Solaris 8 system.  The plugins have compiled correctly and the system has the /dev/random patch applied.  The problem I am having is getting NRPE to start.  It just does nothing.  I have enclosed the entries from both /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf.  I have also enclosed a message I found in /var/adm/messages indicating the address is already in use (which I assume it means port # which is not the case).

I HUP, and I HUP, but it just wont start.  The nagios user exists and owns and can execute the binary as well as read the config file.

Did I miss something here?


FROM /ETC/SERVICES:

nrpe    5666/tcp                                # Nagios


FROM /ETC/INETD.CONF:

nrpe    stream   tcp    nowait   nagios  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -inetd


FROM /VAR/ADM/MESSAGES:

Oct 30 08:55:04 smbck1 nrpe[1361]: [ID 434846 daemon.error] Network server bind failure (125: Address already in use)


$ cat /etc/services | grep 5666

nrpe    5666/tcp                                # Nagios

$


Thank you!
