Hi folks,

First question is - where is the "official tarball" for NRPE mentioned here :
http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/nrpe.html

For the life of me I can only find a git download, and when I use that
I see warnings about it being a dev release.   And maybe that is what
is causing my other issues.

For that matter, it links to packages if you do not want to do a
source install, but there are no packages at that location for NRPE.

But in general I have been having good luck with sources and building
my own RPMs - already did that with Icinga and Nagios Plugins, and
even the GIT tarball of NRPE.  Works well - well done!

Anyway, I'm trying to get NRPE running on a single host so far.   My
Icinga server is running, and I want to now set up come check_nrpe
checks on other systems.   And for the love of gawd I don't want to
use SSL please :-)

So when it comes down to my test, I do this :

-bash-3.2$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -n -H solexa2 -c check_users
CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.

But I just cannot figure out why it is not connecting.

On my remote system I have enabled debugging, so I check the
/var/log/messages and see this :

Jan  3 16:12:32 solexa2 nrpe[12532]: Connection from 192.168.160.10 port 57563

Which matches up with my server trying to contact me.   I have the
server IP enabled in my nrpe.cfg, and I see when nrpe starts up that
it reports this :

Jan  3 15:49:35 solexa2 nrpe[10141]: Allowing connections from:
127.0.0.1,192.168.160.10

I just cannot find any more useful debug info or messages anywhere to
tell me why it is not working.  I did some googling and found a bunch
of stuff but no solutions for my problem :-(

Seems pretty basic to be having this much trouble.   So I must be
doing something really stupid :-)   Oh, and I am running the
check_nrpe command as using icinga.

thanks,
-Alan
