NRPE: could not complete SSL handshake

[Alexei Moulton]

Hi,

I have just got this working and notice several posts on the list with this 
error message. As none of the reply's had my particular solution i thought 
i should share.

firstly I'm running check_nrpe from a Solaris 8 machine, and nrpe so far on 
Solaris 8 and 9 machines.
on all Openssl version is 0.9.7b

the main problem was that the inetd.conf entry in the README file is wrong 
for Solaris - here is mine:
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/local/nagios/sbin/nrpe nrpe -c 
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i

secondly i had to put some symlinks in for the libssl and libcrypto 
libraries - its worth doing ldd on nrpe to check it can access all the 
library files it needs.

hope that helps somebody sometime :)

cheers,
Alexei.
