I have noticed exactly the same with OpenBSD 3.2. Actually, those
process-checking tests work on and off - usually they start working
after you restart identd or the nrpe if you run it as a standalone
daemon. The diskspace checking works dandy; check the mountpoints.

I'm not sure if restarting inetd solving the process-checking problem
actually makes sense... I'm just thinking how inetd again worked;
aren't the nrpe configs read and nrpe started everytime nrpe is called
by inetd? Or perhaps I'm just confused about basics once again.
