Problem With New Client

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

When I ran telnet <remote host> 5666, I got a connection lost error message.
When I started the nrpe
client using the --daemon argument, it appeared to start successfully, and a ps
command showed to be
running.

if you probe the tcp port for nrpe - do you get a connection?

what happens if you run nrpe in daemon mode rather than thru xinetd?
