Configuring nrpe

[Jeff Lane]

Yep...

to try it manually, I am merely copying the configured commands and 
filling in the blanks...

for example...  to check the disk

I am using:

check_nrpe -H ip.of.host.machine -p portIchose -c check_disk1

which gives me a correct response...

however setting it automatically does not work... it isnt that just one 
or two things arent working for this host... Ic ould probably figure 
that out on my own... but the problem is that ALL checks are failing on 
this one host, even though I can do each and every one of them from 
command line and have them work.

I am pretty sure its not in the syntax either, since a good number of 
these checks are being run on some other machines as well, and are 
working fine on those machines. (for example the check_disk command, 
check_sshd command, and some other commands I have been using for 
general service checks).

Cheers
Jeff
