AIX & NRPE v2.5.1

[Steven Fishback]

Nagios v2.5 with NRPE plug-in v2.5.1 on AIX v5.3 (ppc 64 processor)

I've seen this thread before concerning AIX and NRPE but no resolution 
or good suggestions as to what's going on.

If I compile with openssl 0.9.7l-1 I get the "SSL handshaking" error.
If I compile without openssl enabled I get the "Response packet had 
invalid CRC32" error.
I've done all the normal FAQ checks.
My /etc/services I have:
   nrpe            5666/tcp        # NRPE
My /etc/inetd.conf I have:
  nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios /usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg 
--inetd

For testing purposes I have no tcp wrappers and SSL is not enabled.

Logged into the local host:

$ /usr/bin/telnet localhost 5666
Trying...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.

Usage: nrpe [-n] -c <config_file> <mode>

Options:
-n            = Do not use SSL
<config_file> = Name of config file to use
<mode>        = One of the following two operating modes:
  -i          =    Run as a service under inetd or xinetd
  -d          =    Run as a standalone daemon

Connection closed.

$ /opt/local/bin/check_nrpe -H localhost
CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32.

$ /opt/local/bin/check_nrpe -H localhost -p 5666 -n
CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32.

Any idea as to the problem?
