CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

[Chan Chee Seng]

Greetings,
 
I have successfully compiled nrpe 2.0b5 for Solaris 8 on both the Nagios
and remote hosts.  I am now setting up the nrpe on the Nagios host and
the remote host.
 
First I ran nrpe as a daemon on the remote host like this:
 
./nrpe -c nrpe.cfg -d
 
When I ran on the Nagios host with this command:
 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H remote_host -c check_load
 
I get this:
 
DISK OK [60955924 kB (35%) free on /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0]
 
This is fine.  However if on the remote host I configured nrpe to run
under inetd by setting the inetd.conf like this:
 
# nagios nrpe daemon (taken from a tip from Jordi Vidal)
nrpe            stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/local/nagios/nrpe
-- -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -i
 
And when I run the above check_nrpe command I would get:
 
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
 
I have no idea why as I have not changed the nrpe.cfg file which
switching nrpe from daemon to inetd mode.
 
Thanks for any help rendered.
