OK, I didn't wait long enough for the service to update, sorry.
Changing the check_command definition to check_nrpe_1arg with the $HOSTADDRESS$
argument worked.
It appears that the NRPE manual is incorrect on this. The examples it gives
have just check_nrpe for argument-less commands on the remote server. That just
consumed 3 hours or so, so quite painful.
Sort of a bug in the documentation. How does one file a bug report on nagios? I
couldn't find it at sourceforge or on www.nagios.org. I'm also happy to modify
the source for the document if added as a developer on the sourceforge project
(but the join link wasn't clear either).
thanks,
Peter
