NRPE

[Seth Mitchell]

Hello,

Yes, it is important (as I read on the TSMG newsgroup posts this weekend) to
run compatible versions of the NRPE daemon and NRPE_NT.  I think the current
version is the 2.0b4 daemon, with the 0.7b NRPE_NT.  The link on the Nagios
'Extras' page ( http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php ) points at the
straight 2.0 daemon.  To get the B4 version, I just copied the link and
modified it to:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nagios/nrpe-2.0b4.tar.gz?download (note
the b4).

Once you've got compatible versions, the only remaining issue is an
outstanding bug in the SSL piece of NRPE_NT.  See:
http://support.tsmgsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=145  Basically, if you
modify the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NRPE_NT\ImagePath value to
include -n on the end (space dash n) on the Windows server side, and then
modify your check_nrpe commands in your Nagios checkcommands.cfg to include
-n (space dash n space) before the -H, it will work.  After making the
modifications, remember to restart the service on the Windows box(es). It
will not use the SSL piece, which means that the traffic will be somewhat
sniffable, but you won't receive the error any more.

Hello Everyone:

I have checked the fact but my situation acts differently.   I have the same
issue with the error message, but it only happens after random time period.
My Nagios to Linux checks works great!  No problem.  My Linux to NT works
for a random time period and then quits.   Is NRPE 2.0 and NRPE_NT different
versions?  Are they compatible?    I've upgraded all DLL on the NT servers
but the problems persist.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.   Thanks
:)

Hi all, 

Ive got NRPE installed and running but am getting the following error. 

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake. 

I can telnt to the port on the remote box so i know its there and running. 
What am i blatantly missing. i have it configured to run i9n INETD on a 
solaris 8 box. 

Im using tcpwrappers and the inetd.conf entry reads 

nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe

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

Anyt pointer gratefyully taken 

Cheers 

Tom
