NRPE host on Solaris 10

[Izz Abdullah]

still the same error: Received 0 bytes  from daemon...

results from the two commands requested (everything looks ok to me):

# svcs svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default
STATE          STIME           FMRI
online         Jun_10          svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default

# inetadm -l svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default
SCOPE      NAME=VALUE
           name="nrpe"
           endpoint_type="stream"
           proto="tcp"
           isrpc=FALSE
           wait=FALSE
           exec="/usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i"
           arg0="/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe"
           user="nagios"
default    bind_addr=""
default    bind_fail_max=-1
default    bind_fail_interval=-1
default    max_con_rate=-1
default    max_copies=-1
default    con_rate_offline=-1
default    failrate_cnt=40
default    failrate_interval=60
default    inherit_env=TRUE
default    tcp_trace=FALSE
           tcp_wrappers=TRUE
#

The only thing I see different between this output and that on the site listed where I installed the remote host NRPE is there is no default for tcp_wrappers and no connection_backlog.  But this shouldn't be the problem, right?

Thanks again for your assistance,
Izz
