Help NRPE 1.8 won't work

[Hagen Deike]

Hi all,

I need a little help on nrpe 1.8
I Installed nrpe on a Linux Box running Nagios and a HP/UX Server with the
nrpe daemon.

On the HP/UX Server the nrpe exec is installed in /usr/sbin. Path is set
correct.
The config file is in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
nrpe is loaded in inetd.conf

 nrpe stream tcp nowait daemon /usr/sbin/nrpe -c
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd

If I open a telnet to the server on port 5666 I get a message back from
nrpe.
There is a entry in nrpe.cfg for following command

 command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20

Running the plugin on the shell is OK

 $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
 OK - load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.20

But as soon as I try to use the check_nrpe plugin I get an error...

 me at mon:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins> ./check_nrpe -H 10.x.x.x -c check_load
 CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.  Are we allowed to connect to the host?


What's wrong with it???

Regards,
Hagen Deike
