NRPE daemon problem

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

(Copying the list to maintain the thread.)
 
Not by default.  If you want to try nmap, do "nmap -p 5666 localhost).  If
you're on Linux, "netstat -plant | grep 5666" also works.
 
Did you remember to send a SIGUSR2 signal to xinetd after adding the nrpe
definition in?  If not, get the PID for xinetd, then type "kill -12 <pid>".
After that, do the telnet/nmap/netstat check to see if it's now listening.
 
While you're at it, please share with us the exact contents of your nrpe
definition file for xinetd.

No Jim it refused the connection.  I double checked everything now.  Will
port 5666 show up on an "nmap localhost" ?

Can you connect to port 5666 on the destination host?  E.g., "telnet
remotehost 5666"
 
If that works, then try running the check_nrpe command on the Netsaint
(Nagios?) host's command line.
 
Let us know how that goes.

I execute all of these steps. I download the tarball and ./confgure and make
all.
I put the check_nrpe plugin on the netsaint host.  On the remote machine I
add the appropraite lines to /etc/services and add the appropriate file to
xinetd.  I do everything the install/readme tells me, and yet I still get a
no-output response on my linux machine.  Any ideas on what I am missing
would really help, thanks alot.
