NRPE Install Error

[Scott Ackerman]

Shankar,
 
thanks for the help. The nrpe daemon is running on the remote server. There
were no ./configure problems on the remote server, and the only "warning" I
received when I ran ./configure on the monitoring host was "checking for
Kerberos include files... could not find include files"
 
When I ran telnet from the monitoring host to the server I got the
following:
 
trying <ip address>
connected to <ip address>
escape character is '^}'.
connection closed by foreign host.
 
So it seems as if the ports are opened between the two. Firewall access is
allowed between the two (obviously or telnet would not have worked). 
 
But I am still stuck in the same spot witht the "CHECK NRPE: Error - Could
not complete SSL handshake."

Please make sure ./configure went properly and complied nrpe without any
errors. Also check if the nrpe daemon running, ps -ef | grep nrpe or ps -ef
| grep 5666
 
from the nagios server, try
telnet <ip-of-the-monitoring-host> 5666
 
you can also check if the firewall access allow between the two
servers(nagios and remote host).
 
Hope this helps

I have successfully installed NRPE on the remote server (FC6 box). I have
run the check_nrpe "tests" to verify that everything is working correctly.
On the monitoring server however (CentOS 5.1 box) when I run
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H (IP address of remote server), I
get the following error:
 
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
 
the only "negative" reponse that I got when I ran ./configure was "checking
for Kerberos include files... could not find include files. Sorry but I am
new at this, but I am stumped at this point. The only thing that the
documentation says is what to check if you get a "timeout error".
