No Debug logging for NRPE when trying tsNRPE:Unable to read output

[Litwin, Matthew]

Looks like I am going to have to petition a change in our production
environment.

No. NRPE uses syslog for all of it's logging output; it has no code  
internally to manage logging to files.

If you are unable to change syslog.conf to log daemon.debug to a file,  
perhaps you can edit src/nrpe.c, looking for lines like

	syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"some text")'

and change LOG_DEBUG to a facility that you currently do log (LOG_INFO  
or LOG_ERR, for example).

Failing that, your only other option is to code that capability into  
nrpe.c.
