check_logfiles documentation

[Victor Lanza]

That was copy and paste and it was incorrect in my config file as well.
Thanks for pointing it out. :) I used that port (as a newbie that I am)
because I saw it in the examples provided online. I have no clue what this
value should really be. 

You're right, the way I've configured NRPE is to used TCP wrappers, but I'm
100% sure this works as I send a simple check_disk command using NRPE and I
get the proper response. Furthermore, I do have nrpe added to /etc/services
and configured the nagios server to be allowed to communicate with the NRPE
daemon which can be proven by the issuing commands like the one above.

If that was copy and paste, note that what should be -c is missing te
hyphen, and that your port nunmber is non-standard (I came in late; you
might have done that on purpose).

If you're sending arguments and the target nrpe was configured to
reject them it will also bounce.  But not the way you're seeing.

I've heard that some builds of the nrpe daemon are configured to use
TPC wrappers, and thus require a properly configured /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
(which also implies adding nrpe to /etc/services).

Could one of those things be your problem?
