[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios Compatibility - Could not completeSSL handshake

[Andy Shellam]

Hi AL,

NRPE runs on port 5666 by default, providing you haven't changed it.  
Also the check_nrpe command needs a command to execute - i.e.:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -C check_xxx


Regards,
Andy
