I have mine work just fine, sparc 8, 9 & 10. But I do use an older
version of nrpe 

./check_nrpe_ssl  -h

The thing is to generate your own cert. unless you want to use the one
that came with teh sources..

my inetd.conf (i have ssl nrpe and none ssl nrpe configured)
if you have tcp-wrapper remember to configure hosts.allow

# Nagios agent
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  sys     /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/nrpe -i -c /usr/local/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
snrpe   stream  tcp     nowait  sys     /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/nrpe_ssl -i -c /usr/local/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

5711 = none ssl
5712 = ssl

./check_nrpe_ssl -H localhost -p 5711 -c check_root_disk 
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

now to the ssl port

 ./check_nrpe_ssl -H localhost -p 5712 -c check_root_disk 
DISK OK [3945564 kB (65%) free on /]


as you can see it works...

I can sent you th ebinary if you want to but it does depends on the
correct openssl libraries!


hope this may help a bit :)
