>From your description, it seems like the plugins are working OK but the problem is with the service itself. That's not surprising, SMF on Solaris 10 can be tricky to get right. I'd double check the entire section in those instructions from "With Solaris 10, we don't use either inetd ..." to "Modify your hosts.allow ...". In particular make sure your inetd.conf entry is on one line (as the instructions say but then split over three lines because of the narrow width of the page). If it's still not working, post back with the relevant section of inetd.conf and the output of

svcs svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default

and

inetadm -l svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default
