By inspection of the nrpe.c source, my interpretation is that comments
in nrpe.conf can only be entire lines. If you put the # sign anywhere
but column 1, then it will (attempt to) be parsed by the individual
line data "parser", and Bad Things Will Happen.
What you illustrate is exactly what I did, and that turned out to be
the reason why I couldn't get nrpe to talk (stage one).
Once you get that part right, then you'll likely have to fiddle the
arguments to check_nrpe on the monitoring server a tad (this is the
problem if all your remote checks pass, but the status on the service
detail is "NRPE v2.5.1" or suchlike).
Cheers,
