[Nagiosplug-help] NRPE on HP-UX 11.23i

[Don Cathey]

Not insulting at all ... but that didn't help. I am able to communicate
perfectly fine when running the nrpe daemon in standalone mode, just not
with inetd. I am not using tcpwrapper and the syslog says that it is
allowing the connection:
bash-3.2# tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
.
Jan 10 15:03:43 HPUXhost inetd[6599]: nrpe/tcp: Connection from
nagiosHost (192.168.1.3) at Thu Jan 10 15:03:43 2008
.
It just appears that nothing is sent back to the nagios host.
/opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe-1.8 -H 192.168.1.2
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.  Are we allowed to connect to the
host?


Thanks,

DC

Maybe an insulting question,
but did you tell the check_nrpe plugin not to try SSL when
invoked?

e.g.

$ check_nrpe -n -H ... -c ...

Hello,
 
I have compiled and installed NRPE v1.8 on my HP-UX Itanium
server (and the nagios host) but have not been able to get a
correct response from NRPE:
 
Nagios linux host:
/opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe-1.8 -H 192.168.1.2
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.  Are we allowed to connect to the
host?
 
Remote HP-UX host:
bash-3.2# netstat -a |grep nrpe
tcp        0      0  *.nrpe                 *.*
LISTEN
tcp        0      0  HPUXhost.nrpe             nagiosHost.50108
TIME_WAIT
 
bash-3.2# tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
.
Jan 10 15:03:43 HPUXhost inetd[6599]: nrpe/tcp: Connection from
nagiosHost (192.168.1.3) at Thu Jan 10 15:03:43 2008
.
 
I configured NRPE without SSL on both machines. I am running the
daemon with inetd and without tcpwrapper.
 
I must be missing something simple?
 
Thanks for any help I can get on this.
