Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris






Hi, came across this just now while browsing my NAGIOS mail folder.
 
From my notes on installing NAGIOS on Solaris 10:
If getting SSL handshake error from nrpe, it may be that you don’t have 
the SUN Solaris crypto packages SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr and SUNWcry installed. 
Install them in the order: SUNWcrman, SUNWcryr, and SUNWcry
 
Note: they are in the Solaris_10/Product subdirectory of the Solaris 10 
DVD
# pkgadd -d . SUNWcrman SUNWcry SUNWcryr
 
 
For the other error with the “svc:/network/nrpe/tcp“, I would suggest you 
delete the SMF profile for NRPE and recreate it following the instructions 
by Stephan Windmueller at 
http://ls5-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~windmueller/nagios-solaris10.html. You 
don’t need the whole thing, just the “Integrating Nagios into SMF” 
section. Look out for the paths and modify to match your install.

Per my previous email... I had the EXACT same issue and went to 
check_by_ssh for my Solaris hosts... I'm thinking there must be some magic 
step we're missing that isn't into the current "oh yeah... if you have 
Solaris then do this" knowledge pool...

Error i see when i run dmesg,

fyi

I have been using nagios and nrpe 9-10 years now; sparc and x86, started 
back with solaris 7
and now soalris 10, zero error.... mix solaris, aix, hpux, linux.
The server has always been Solaris (sparc or x86), use inetd/xinetd/deamon 
mode
again zero error

The one 'problem' i have seen people complain about is ssl and nrpe, read 
the manual and it should pretty
clear what todo, 99.9% is almost the use not having doing some RTFM thingy 
:)
The other one is tcp-wrapper and nrpe, nrpe has a access control buildt-in
so I never understood one would need to use tcp-wrapper :)
