NRPE Problems

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

man xinetd.conf
 
under 'EXAMPLE'
 
But I see your point.  Nagios documentation is replete with descriptions and
definitions, but a little light on 'real world' examples.
 
If you feel this was a show-stopper for you, perhaps you could write up a
problem/resolution or HOWTO for it and add it to the FAQ on www.nagios.org
<http://www.nagios.org> .  I'm sure Ethan would welcome your efforts.

Yes I know however it's not clear whether they want just the path, or the
FULL path (i.e. including the executable and cfg file). It doesn't clarify
below nor does it show an example of how it's used.

You mean the nrpe file used by xinetd, right?
 
There actually is a sample xinetd.d/nrpe file included in the README:
 
[quote]
        # default: on
        # description: NRPE
        service nrpe
        {
                flags           = REUSE
                socket_type     = stream
                wait            = no
                user            = <user>
                server          = <nrpebin>
                server_args     = -i <nrpecfg>
                log_on_failure  += USERID
                disable         = no
                only_from       = <ipaddress1> <ipaddress2> ...
        }
   - Replace <user> with the name of the user that the nrpe server should
run as.
   - Replace <nrpebin> with the path to the nrpe binary on your system.
   - Replace <nrpecfg> with the path to the nrpe config file on your system.
   - Replace the <ipaddress> fields with the IP addresses of hosts which
     are allowed to connect to the NRPE daemon.  This only works if xinetd
was
     compiled with support for wrappers.
