FW: FW: NRPE always Returns 0 (OK) from monitoring server

[shane.stakem at managestar.com]

My apologies, 2 is the return value im getting when I run it locally.
There aren't really any logs that I can show because I no longer have
the nagios service running so as to not get email spammed about no
functioning services. It looks like the only plugin so far having this
issue is check_disk. I am currently running NRPE 2.0 and stable Nagios
V1.2 on Redhat Linux 3.0ES. The remote host is running RH2.1ES. I have
tested this with the newest and oldest check_disk plugins on both
servers and find the same result. Thanks for the help.

        }
# 'check_local_disk' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_local_disk
        command_line    $USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$

3 is actually unknown. 2 is critical.

This seems to be a software bug, although I've never seen it before. 
What version of NRPE are you running? Can you provide me with some log 
output (off list, if possible)?
