[Nagiosplug-help] Install NRPE on Solaris

[Stevens, Michael]

I think you've missed a field in your inetd.conf.  It should be:

nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe \
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i

Note the second instance of /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe.
