Yes. YES!!. I have compiled the 1.8 nrpe on my nagios host, moved the 
check_nrpe as check_nrpe-1.8 to the libexec dir, defined a appropriate 
command, changed the service definition...and all works fine.

Juup. I was so absorbed in compiler flags, configure parameters and
such things that my brain was completety busy. If I would had read
the nagios download page carefully ("Note: NRPE version 2.0
breaks backward compatability with 1.8 clients/servers!"), I would
not have had the difficulties...uuppss.

Thanks to Gerhard Göttinger in NG "comp.sys.hp.hpux" who took me in the 
right direction...

There is only one question open: How to build the 2.03b version on hp-ux 11?

Bye
