Subject: [Nagiosplug-help] NRPE not working

Hi there,

I need to perform characterization testing and I want to monitor two remote hosts CPU and Memory.  I have installed Nagios on the monitoring machine.  It is working fine.
I installed the NRPE addon and I perform the command:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 172.x.x.x
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 172.x.x.x
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for error messages.

Remote host:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 172.x.x.x
NRPE v2.12

netstat -at | grep nrpe
tcp        0      0 *:nrpe                      *:*                         LISTEN


I verified that both boxes are running:

OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003

Both machines are running:
Linux 2.6.9-42.7
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4
Firewall is Disabled on Both Servers


Thanks
Danny
