NRPE-Problem

[lists at miwi-dv.com]

Kai,

The pre-build nrpe_nt binaries have ssl enabled by default,
try to deinstall 
	"nrpe_nt -u" 

then
	"nrpe_nt -i -n" 

to install with ssl disabled.

cheers
MiWi

Hey.

Thanks for the reply.

I compiled the nrpe-plugin on the nagios host with ssl-disabled. The
config on the to-be-checked-host has the ip of the nagios server in the
allowed_hosts, too, so I would say these are not the reasons for the
error. 

Never the less, SSL seems to be the problem. Is there any way I can
disable SSL on the to-be-checked host? The binary I got from
Openexchange seems to expect SSL and in the nrpe.cfg is no option
documented to disable it again.

Thanks again for putting me on the right track. (BTW: enabling debug
mode in nrpe.cfg helped some, too :) )
