NRPE on Solaris Info #2

[Gerald Wichmann]

Some additional cut/paste's of various config files.. Far as I can tell this
is all correct.. so why doesn't it work with inetd and only works with
-daemon (stand alone)?
 
 
/etc/service entry:
 
nrpe            5666/tcp                        # Nagios NRPE daemon
 
 
/etc/inetd.conf entry:
 
#
# Nagios NRPE Daemon
#
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/sbin/nrpe -c
/usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd
 
NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
Copyright (c) 1999-2003 Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
Version: 1.8
Last Modified: 01-16-2003
License: GPL
 
Usage: ./nrpe -c <config_file> [mode]
 
Options:
 <config_file> = Name of config file to use
 [mode]        = Determines how NRPE should run. Valid modes:
   --inetd     = Run as a service under inetd or xinetd
   --daemon    = Run as a standalone daemon
 
Notes:
This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe
plugin on the host(s) running Nagios.  It can run as a service
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a
standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized
host, NRPE will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the
config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the
check_nrpe plugin.

# Sample NRPE Config File
# Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
#
# Last Modified: 06-03-2002
#
# NOTES:
# This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon.  It needs to be
# located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host
# from which the check_nrpe client is being executed.
############################################################################
#
 
 
 
# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.
# NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024).
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd
 
server_port=5666
 
 
 
# SERVER ADDRESS
# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd
 
#server_address=10.1.82.21
 
 
 
# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed
# to talk to the NRPE daemon.
#
# NOTE: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
#       address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your
#       /etc/hosts.allow file to allow only the specified host to connect
#       to the port you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd
 
allowed_hosts=10.1.82.21
 
 
 
# NRPE USER
# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd
 
nrpe_user=nagios
 
 
 
# NRPE GROUP
# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd
 
nrpe_group=nagios
 
 
 
# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# syslog facility.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on
 
debug=1
 
 
 
# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.
