NRPE Problems

[carole verdon]

It seems to me that your nrpe on nagios server is compiled with ssl. Is 
right?

If it's the case, you can use, i believe, the '-n' option of check_nrpe 
to disable ssl. Otherwise, you must compile again nrpe on nagios server 
with '--enable-ssl' option. Then, you can call the new check_nrpe as 
check_nrpe_nossl to not confuse with the check_nrpe compiling with ssl 
support.


I see also that you copied some plugins on remote host. Is it the same 
version of OS? Normally, you must compile plugins directly on remote 
host. Perhaps, the error comes from there.

I hope that help you.
