NRPE Not listening

[Scott]

Have you tried nsca, I havent tried nrpe at all because I tried nsca first and it worked very very well, it also does encryption with passwords which makes it a nicety!!

As I said I cant comment on NRPE as I havent actually used it yet..

  Subject: [Nagios-users] NRPE Not listening


  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?
