NRPE

[Ranga Nathan]

When I  have problems with nrpe (say in a new install), I debug it using
this command running on the nagios server.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpep  -H 172.24.6.115  -c check_services
-t 500  -d  -f /etc/nagios/check_nrpep.cfg

This config works on my box (RHEL3.0U2):

% cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
# default: on
# description: The rshd server is the server for the rcmd(3) routine and, \
#       consequently, for the rsh(1) program.  The server provides \

#       privileged port numbers from trusted hosts.
service nrpe
{
        flags           = REUSE
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = nagios
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        server                  =  /apps/nagios/nrpe/nrpe
        server_args             =  -c /db/sysadmin/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd
}

I never got it working in xinet.d I ended up just tossing it in as a daemon
because it was so much easier.

/usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d

I'm still getting the error for SSL though.. can not complete handshake.

I have installed nagios and configured nagios on one server to monitor
several servers with the check_ping plugin. Everything works great now I
have installed NRPE on one of the remote servers running Fedora 4. I have
edited /etc/services and added the following

nrpe     5666/tcp     # NRPE

and created a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ called nrpe the contents in it are

 # default: on
 # description: NRPE
 service nrpe
 {
         flags           = REUSE
         socket_type     = stream
         wait            = no
         user            = nagios
         server          = /home/nagios/nrpe
         server_args     = -c /home/nagios/nrpe --inetd
         log_on_failure  += USERID
         disable         = no
  only_from       =  1.2.3.4 <-- ip to nagios server
 }
  When I run /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart I get these errors in
/var/log/messages
Sep 17 02:56:19 db1 xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded
Sep 17 02:56:19 db1 xinetd[18797]: bind failed (Address already in use
(errno = 98)). service = nrpe
Sep 17 02:56:19 db1 xinetd[18797]: Service nrpe failed to start and is
deactivated.
Sep 17 02:56:19 db1 xinetd[18797]: xinetd Version 2.3.13 started with
libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
Sep 17 02:56:19 db1 xinetd[18797]: Started working: 0 available services

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
