Returning "CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake' on Nagios server

[Najeeb Aslam]

Hi Benny,

Below is a successful telnet session from my centos nagios server to the solaris remote host. As requested in my nrpe.cfg file on the solaris remote host I have loop back ip address 127.0.0.1 for 'allowed_host' not the ip address of the centos nagios server, but before it was working fine...

[root at centos ~]# netstat -an |grep 5666
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5666                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN

[root at centos ~]# telnet 195.194.49.175 5666
Trying 195.194.49.175...
Connected to 195.194.49.175 (195.194.49.175).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[root at centos ~]#

Regards,

-Najeeb

Is your Nagios server in the 'allowed_hosts' option in the client's
nrpe.cfg?

Can you telnet from your Nagios server to port 5666 on the client?
