NRPE-Problem

[Kai Reese]

Hey.

Thanks for the reply.

I compiled the nrpe-plugin on the nagios host with ssl-disabled. The config on the to-be-checked-host has the ip of the nagios server in the allowed_hosts, too, so I would say these are not the reasons for the error. 

Never the less, SSL seems to be the problem. Is there any way I can disable SSL on the to-be-checked host? The binary I got from Openexchange seems to expect SSL and in the nrpe.cfg is no option documented to disable it again.

Thanks again for putting me on the right track. (BTW: enabling debug mode in nrpe.cfg helped some, too :) )
