Problems Using NRPE 1.8 with HP-UX 10.20

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Jim,

Prior to receiving your message, I reinstalled the HP-UX 10.20 depot version

of nrpe client on the HP-UX box. This had been compiled by C. Bensend. The 
error message I am getting now is 

CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes. Are we allowed to connect to the host?

I verified that nagios is the owner of the nrpe directory, and is the
user account that is invoked in the inetd.conf file. I also checked the
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file and there were no errors reported for the
services or inetd.conf files.

I haven't touched an HP-UX box in ages, but here's where I'd start
troubleshooting:

1) comment nrpe out of inetd.conf
2) HUP inetd
3) edit nrpe.cfg, setting "debug=1"
4) in one window, start nrpe manually (NOT as a daemon) (*)
5) in another window on another host try to telnet to port 5666 on the
former host
6) make observations and report

(*) I would personally start nrpe using whatever the HP-UX equivalent to
Solaris' truss or Linux's strace, for added scrutiny
