NRPE Error

[rob.moss at uk.bnpparibas.com]

Have you checked the config file to make sure it's listening on the right
interface, and port?

You need to restart the service after changes to the config file are made

Also, try this at the cmd prompt to show all open ports

netstat -an

I have used the default port 5666.

When I try to telnet to that server I get connection refused as well.

I have checked the service and it is running.

Thanks

What port have you configured the NSClient++ to work on? Port 5666 or
some
other port?

I use nrpe_nt for windows

What happens when you telnet to that port on that server? connection
refused?

Have you checked the service has started on the windows server?

There are no passwords with the NRPE protocol, and if there were, you
wouldn't be getting a Connection Refused message, you would have had a
user/password prompt

Cheers

Hello,

I have been trying to get a resolution to this problem for several days.

I have fedora 5, Nagios 2.4 with plugins 1.4.3 and NRPE 2.0 installed. I
installed the NSClient++ on the windows 2003 server and changed the
settings in the nsc.ini file. I run the command check_nrpe command from
the
command line on the nagios server and I immediately get the error
"connection refused by host".

I tried the following.
I used my computer as a test. And I was able to run the command and get
a
response from my workstation, with the pnsclient and the check_nt
command

I think that it is either a password issue or port issue that the
windows
2003 is refusing the connection.

I also tried the following
I installed the pnsclient on the windows 2003 server and ran the
check_nt
and it worked.

The next question is which one is best to use the NSClient++ or the
pNSclient?

Thanks for any insight
