Have you run NRPE with the full path(s) /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg (replace /usr/local/nagios with wherever you installed it to) On Solaris you can use 'truss' which is what shows you the system calls that are running, and will show any errors that the application has. You would run at the prompt: truss /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg Also, you can run 'ldd' on the nrpe binary to see if it's missing any libraries (like openssl etc) Cheers rob </body> </html>
