Strange NRPE Problem...

[Rodrick Brown]

I don't believe it's possible to use Nagios/Nrpe scripts with 3rd party
modules I briefly read something about this in the documentation. Try
testing with a very basic 3rd party module that you know must work under
almost any condition.

The NRPE Demon is running under the Local System account - all my
previous DB scripts have worked fine, so not sure why this one is any
different... 

Not sure of any ways of explicitly testing it under the Local System
account... 

Cheers

Does it work locally if you run it as the same user as the NRPE daemon
is running?
