nrpe wrapper problems - solaris 8 (try 2 :)

[Ben Whaley]

Greetings,

Terribly sorry about the double message - accidently hit
enter :( Let me try this again.

I'm having problems wrapping nrpe on Solaris 8 hosts. The
daemon will start up and run fine standalone - just
/usr/local/nrpe/nrpe -c /usr/local/nrpe/nrpe.cfg -i works
fine. Even putting it in inetd, unwrapped, like the
following:
 
 nrpe stream tcp nowait nrpe /usr/local/nrpe/nrpe
 nrpe -c /usr/local/nrpe/nrpe.cfg -i 

... works just fine. However, wrapping it, using the
following: 

 nrpe stream tcp nowait nrpe /usr/local/sbin/tcpd
 /usr/local/nrpe/nrpe -c /usr/local/nrpe/nrpe.cfg -i

... does not work. Nothing in any of the logs (unless
there's a specific wrapper log that I'm unaware of) that
would indicate a problem. I can look in daemon.log and I see
an nrpe connection entry. When I telnet to the host, it
opens a connection and immediately closes it. hosts.allow
has the following pertinent entry:

  nrpe: <myhost> 127.0.0.1 : ALLOW

and /etc/services has:

  nrpe 5666/tcp

I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Thanks, and sorry for the spam,
Ben Whaley
