AIX NRPE questions

[Berg,David]

Hi, I was hoping someone might have some advice for me regarding
monitoring AIX nodes.

I am attempting to get NRPE 2.8.1 running on AIX 5.3, so far without any
luck. 

Following the NRPE.pdf documentation
(http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf), I was able to
configure without ssl and install using the GCC compiler. I then added a
line to the /etc/inetd.conf file as follows:

nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -I

Added this to /etc/services:
nrpe                     5666/tcp               # NRPE for Nagios

Netstat looks good:
netstat -at | grep nrpe
tcp4       0      0  *.nrpe                 *.*
LISTEN

I also added the ip address of the local node to the nrpe.cfg file and
have confirmed that the nagios user and group own the related
directories and files.

However, when I try to start nrpe, via the command line or by refreshing
inetd, it doesn't start and doesn't give me any errors. For example:

/etc> /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i
/etc> ps -ef | grep nrpe
    root 2072804 2019568   0 15:47:11  pts/1  0:00 grep nrpe 
/etc> /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d
/etc> ps -ef | grep nrpe                                             
    root 2478206 2019568   0 15:47:24  pts/1  0:00 grep nrpe 

Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here? Also, does anyone know
of any Nagios documentation for AIX? I have not had a lot of luck with
http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki.

Thanks for any help,
David Berg
