Running NRPE under inetd (AIX)

[Steve Shipway]

We are succesfully using NRPE under AIX here.  It was compiled without SSL
support, since I cant get hold of SSL libraries for AIX (insert curses on US
export laws here)

>From /etc/inetd.conf:
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  monitor /usr/local/nrpe/nrpe nrpe -i -n -c
/usr/local/nrpe/nrpe.cfg

The 'invalid CRC32' error message is the (highly unhelpful) response usually
generated when there is a problem with encryption or permissions, or the
plugin fails, or indeed pretty much any other problem.

Since your daemon works when it is run as user root but fails when it is run
(under inetd) as user nagios, would this not indicate that you have a
permissions problem?  Check the permissions and ownerships on the nrpe.cfg
file and parent directories, and of the plugins being called.
