That doesn't work. The nrpe protocol changed between 1.x and 2.x, so you need to make sure you're using the same (major) version of nrpe on both ends of the connection. I faintly remember having to make some modifications to (check_)nrpe 2.x for it to compile cleanly on solaris, although I think that was an older version of it than yours. If you run into similar problems, poke me and I'll see if I can find the modified sources somewhere. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
