Help in Running Nrpe inside inetd with TCP Wrappers on FreeBSD.

[Mukarram Syed]

Thanks Jan for your suggestions.

I did add gaia's IP in the nrpe.cfg file as allowed
hosts, enabled logs and I get the following message in
the /var/log/messages:

Nov 23 20:56:22 gaia nrpe[78179]: Unable to open
config file '//nrpe.cfg' for reading 
Nov 23 20:56:22 gaia nrpe[78179]: Config file
'//nrpe.cfg' contained errors, bailing out...
Nov 23 20:56:27 gaia nrpe[78188]: Unable to open
config file '//nrpe.cfg' for reading 
Nov 23 20:56:27 gaia nrpe[78188]: Config file
'//nrpe.cfg' contained errors, bailing out..

My nrpe.cfg file seems okay.  But why am I getting
these errors.  The permissions are set to 777.
I did a preflight check no errors.  But still it
reports the following error.
Don't know why.
Any suggestions will be very helpful.
Thanks Much.
