NRPE Not listening

[Jeffcoat, Al]

Hi All,
 
I've got Nagios running nicely on my linux and AIX servers.  
 
Now, I'm trying to install it onto a DEC Alpha we have.  I got the
plugins to compile, and nrpe seems to compile with no problems.  I
edited the nrpe.cfg file, and added the ip of my Nagios server.  When I
try to run a plugin from my Nagios server (ie, "[root at nagios libexec]#
./check_nrpe eagle -c check_load"), I get: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.
Are we allowed to connect to the host?
 
I have checked the config file for the address about 10 times to make
sure that it was right, and it still doesn't want to answer.

So, I saw that the config file says that if it runs under inetd, it
ignores that.  So, I tried to start it under inetd, and it seems like it
doesn't ever start.  When I run netstat -a | grep nrpe, it show's
nothing.  Likewise, I also tried netstat -a | grep 5666, and nothing.
I've also added nrpe to the services file.  When I add it to the
inetd.conf, and restart inetd, I get "connection refused by host" from
check_nrpe.
 
Anyone else had luck getting nrpe to work under OSF/1(aka TruUNIX) 4.0F?
