HP-UX nrpe permissions

Note, I have a request in the middle of that page asking people with
problems to ask _me_ first, before going to the list.  :)  That's just
so the entire list isn't bothered if it turns out I'm a bonehead.  ;)
I don't want a problem with my build to tie up the experts' time.

> There's no problem If I run a local test of the plug-in (for example:
> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200) on the agent host

> The problem is when I call the agent from the Nagios host. The message is:

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

The NRPE build on my site wasn't compiled with any funky options or
anything, just SSL disabled.  Are you trying to use SSL?

Can you telnet to the NRPE port from your Nagios machine?
