[solve] inetd solaris 10 nrpe

Nagios
1

Hello…
I have a problem with nrpe on solaris 10.
I have already install nrpe on solaris 2.6 and 2.8.

But here, in /etc/inetd.conf I write :
nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i

And I do inetconv to translate this line in smb.
It’s all right, the nrpe port listenning.

But when I execute check_nrpe in my nagios host I have this result :
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.

And in my remote server in file /var/adm/messages I have this error :
Apr 6 16:47:59 testemil inetd[582]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Failed to set credentials for the inetd_start method of instance svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default (chdir: No such file or directory)

Do you have any idea for resolve my problem??

Thx.

My first guess would be “/network/nrpe/tcp No such file or directory”

Solaris make the file /network/nrpe-tcp.xml with inetconv.
The refrence /network/nrpe/tcp is the name of the application called by inetd.
But in doubt I create the files :
/network/nrpe/tcp.xml
/nrpe-tcp.xml
/tcp/nrpe-tcp.xml
/tcp/tcp.xml
And the result is the same…

But the command chdir is not defined, is there a possibility?

Sorry, you lost me. I am of no help, since I don’t use nrpe.

The solution is :
Create a directory for the user nagios.

Thanks for your help.
