Hi,
Please find listed below my installation steps. Did I misspell
something?
installing NRPE and Nagios-Plugins (without ssl)
gunzip nrpe-2.0b4.tar.gz
tar -xvf nrpe-2.0b4.tar
cd nrpe-2.0b4
./configure --enable-command-args --disable-ssl
make all
mkdir -p /nagios/sbin
cp src/nrpe src/check_nrpe /nagios/sbin
mkdir -p /nagios/etc
cp -p nrpe.cfg /nagios/etc/
edit nrpe.cfg as required
gunzip nagios-plugins-HEAD-200510261647.tar.gz
tar -xvf nagios-plugins-HEAD-200510261647.tar
cd nagios-plugins-HEAD-200510261647
./configure --without-ssl -prefix=/nagios
make
make install
Can you send me your own installation steps for configuring
The 2 without ssl support?
Thanks.

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.
