I’ve just installed nrpe on solaris 10, and it’s been installed correctly, no errors during that process. however when i run:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
I get the following
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
I configured using the following:
./configure -with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl/ -with-ssl-inc=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl/ -with-ssl-lib=/usr/local/ssl/lib/
to ensure the ssl headers and libs were found.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Please not I’ve checked the tips on the nagios site
I’ve progressed a little with my problem
I’ve configured the nrpe plugin on the remote host and nagios server with --disable-ssl so I stop getting the handshake errors…however I get the following when run from the nagios server:
./check_nrpe -H 203.2.253.243 -n -c check_users
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages.
as a note, this is running on solaris 10
I think you may still need to put the -n in the start up for NRPE so it doesn’t try to do ssl. I know that’s true with my freebsd and linux servers.
