I am attempting to get NRPE 2.8.1 running on AIX 5.3, so far without any luck. Following the NRPE.pdf documentation (<A HREF="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf</A>), I was able to configure without ssl and install using the GCC compiler. I then added a line to the /etc/inetd.conf file as follows: nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -I Added this to /etc/services: nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE for Nagios Netstat looks good: netstat -at | grep nrpe tcp4 0 0 *.nrpe *.* LISTEN I also added the ip address of the local node to the nrpe.cfg file and have confirmed that the nagios user and group own the related directories and files. However, when I try to start nrpe, via the command line or by refreshing inetd, it doesn't start and doesn't give me any errors. For example: /etc> /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i /etc> ps -ef | grep nrpe root 2072804 2019568 0 15:47:11 pts/1 0:00 grep nrpe /etc> /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d /etc> ps -ef | grep nrpe root 2478206 2019568 0 15:47:24 pts/1 0:00 grep nrpe Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here? Also, does anyone know of any Nagios documentation for AIX? I have not had a lot of luck with <A HREF="http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki">http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki</A>.
