NRPE/SSL error - solution

[Greg Haygood]

RE: CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake

I ran into this NRPEv2 / SSL error in my environment yesterday, but only 
with my Solaris 7 & 8 systems.

After wringing my hair out and digging around with truss, I figured out 
the problem on my Solaris 8 boxen.  The files /devices/pseudo/random* 
(linked through /dev/*random, and provided by Sun patch 111238) were not 
readable by the nagios user I use to launch NRPE.  Making the character 
devices world-readable solved it.

My lone sol7 box is still a mystery, since it's using the prng stuff and 
no the Sun patch.  But the sol8 systems are more important, anyway. 
Maybe I'll use it as an excuse to update that guy ....

Hope this helps some other frustrated folks ....
