My apologies, I'm suffering from a 60-minute lag on SourceForge's mailing list for some reason - I'd got 2 replies from David before this so it looked like you hadn't copied the list in.
Sorry! Now onto this e-mail... > As far as the client is concerned, nrpe is not being run via xinetd, it is > being > run as a standalone daemon.

What is the actual error reported in Nagios? Also try: shut Nagios down, clear out the "/usr/local/nagios/var" folder, and re-start Nagios - you'll lose any previous states (if you use the keep state functions) but it'll force Nagios to re-build it's objects cache and re-check the services - if you're still getting the error after that, something strange is amiss.
