nrpe 2.0 with AIX 4.3.2

[Aaron Levitt]

Simon and anyone else that may care-

I figured out the problem with nrpe and aix 4.3.2.  For some reason the
"--inetd" flag was being read incorrectly by inetd.  I changed:

/usr/sbin/tcpd /sbin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd

to:

/usr/sbin/tcpd /sbin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i

and everything was fine from there on.  Just thought I'd post so that
anyone else that comes along the same problem I did, won't spend so long
searching for the solution.
