nrpe 1.8 under SCO 5.0.6

[Andrew Best]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of getting nrpe 1.8 running under SCO 5.0.6.
I have successfully compiled and installed nrpe 1.8 and it runs fine.

When running from inetd:
I telnet to port 5666 on the host I want to monitor, the connection opens
and is then immediatly dropped.
The syslog shows:

Jun 18 11:24:20 mistest nrpe[18890]: Handling the connection...
Jun 18 11:24:20 mistest nrpe[18890]: Could not read request from client,
bailing out...

When running as standalone daemon:
I telnet to port 5666 on the host I want to monitor, the connection opens
and is then immediatly dropped.
syslog shows:

Jun 18 11:54:03 mistest nrpe[18925]: Connection from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port
61837
Jun 18 11:54:03 mistest nrpe[18925]: Host address checks out ok
Jun 18 11:54:03 mistest nrpe[18925]: Handling the connection...
Jun 18 11:54:03 mistest nrpe[18925]: Could not read request from client,
bailing out...
Jun 18 11:54:03 mistest nrpe[18925]: Connection from XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX closed.

Ive trawled through the mailing list archive and seen several people
experience this problem but most of those appeared to be a problem with the
config of inetd.
TCP Wrappers are not running on this host and I would like to avoid having
to install it if I possibly can.

Anyone care to offer any insights, things I might have missed etc?

/etc/services:
nrpe            5666/tcp        # NRPE (Nagios Monitoring Daemon)

>From inet.conf
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios  /usr/sbin/nrpe  nrpe -c
/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd

nrpe:
mistest >ls -la /usr/sbin/nrpe
-rwxrwxr-x   1 nagios   nagios     88792 Jun 18 09:11 /usr/sbin/nrpe

nrpe.cfg
mistest >ls -al /etc/nrpe.cfg
-rw-rw----   1 nagios   nagios      3575 Jun 18 12:03 /etc/nrpe.cfg

Contents of nrpe.cfg changes depending if im running it from inetd or as a
daemon but there is nothing weird in the file.

cheers
Andrew Best
