NRPE and Solaris Problem

[Gerald Wichmann]

When I run the NRPE daemon on solaris, it works fine when running in stand
alone mode. However if I try to run it using inetd, I just get
 
[root at PS-NAT libexec]# ./check_nrpe 10.1.82.52 -c check_smtp
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.  Are we allowed to connect to the host?
 
Tcpwrapper isn't installed on this server, so I would say yes it should be
allowed to connect.
 
A netstat -a | grep nrpe shows the box *is* listening for nrpe..
The nrpe.cfg file is set for port 5666 as is the entry in /etc/services
 
Nothing gets logged in syslog or messages..
 
root at PS-DB-E250-01:/usr/sbin:!$ netstat -a | grep nrpe
      *.nrpe               *.*                0      0 24576      0 LISTEN
PS-DB-E250-01.nrpe   10.1.82.21.52311      7299      0 24616      0
TIME_WAIT
root at PS-DB-E250-01:/usr/sbin:!$
 
 
As you can see above, when I do a check there is a connection that opens and
says "TIME_WAIT".. Question is why isn't NRPE servicing that connection?
