None of the above info was in your original posting. You'd be surprised 
how many users test things "the wrong way".

I don't recall what this was about, but putting it out of context sure 
makes it look that way.

Re-post your original message and include some log output with debug=1 
in nrpe.conf. It would also help if you posted the script you're trying 
to run, the nrpe.conf in its entirety as well as the output of
su - nrpeuser -c "sudo thescript"
and
time thescript
That way I'll have a decent chance of telling you what's going wrong.
