Nagios Monitor Server, and NRPE clients, giving funny results

[Assaf Flatto]

Gabriel 

I believe you may be confusing the two components .
Nagios is the core system submitting requests and gathering the answers from the clients and 
network.
NRPE is a client agent installed on the individual server being monitored from the nagios - and 
AFAIK there is no rpm for it , you can download it from the nagios site -> addons 	
http://www.nagios.org/download/addons/

Please read the documentation about the NRPE and see how to set it up to your needs .
