Nagios NRPE Help.

[Fernando Gutierrez]

I had the exact same problem two days ago, and after suffering for hours 
I found the answer was the SSL, you can compile nrpe with or without 
support for it, and the plugin uses it for default, you must add a -n to 
the command in order to tell the nagios machine to tell it not to use 
it. So:

        command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -n

try this.
