Cant get NRPE working on Solaris9

[aleksey zakharov]

I've installed NRPE/Nagios-Plugins binaries - nagios-plugins-1.3.1_2-sol9-sparc-local and nrpe-1.9_5-sol9-sparc-local on Solaris 9 as follows:

# pkgadd -d /tmp/nagios-plugins-1.3.1_2-sol9-sparc-local

# pkgadd -d /tmp/nrpe-1.9_5-sol9-sparc-local

 

Edited /etc/services and added the following line 

nrpe            5666/tcp                        # Nagios NRPE client

 

Modified /etc/init.d/nrpe to point to /etc/nrpe.cfg

 

Configured /etc/nrpe.cfg by editing allowed_hosts to point to my NAGIOS server as well as localhost for testing purposes.

 

But when testing NRPE connection from Nagios server i get:

CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

 

and on the client side /var/adm/messages displays:

Could not read request from client, bailing out...

 

When checking from local host I do however bet a response:

#check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_load
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.01

 

After countless forum searches I wasn't able to find any clues as to what could be wrong with my connection.

 

Thanks for any help in advance.
