Hay Ayotunde Please go through this doc which i have written when i was installaing NRPE on Solaris 10. http://allunix.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/install-and-configure-nagios-plugins-nrpe-on-solaris-10/ Thanks, Nilesh <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Ayotunde Itayemi <Ayotunde.Itayemi@zain.com> 06/24/2009 01:10 PM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td><nccomp@gmail.com>, Nagios Users Mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>Re: [Nagios-users] Error while configuring NRPE on solaris</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> 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 <a href="mailto:stephan.windmueller@cs.uni-dortmund.de">Stephan Windmueller</a> at <a href="http://ls5-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~windmueller/nagios-solaris10.html">http://ls5-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~windmueller/nagios-solaris10.html</a>. 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.

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... A.
