Cross-platform difficulties with NRPE

Greetings,

We are currently exploring the use of nagios as a basic monitoring tool
for test environment. We have the setup where a Mac OSX (10.3.3) box is
serving nagios and checks Linux (Mandrake 9), Mac OSX (10.3.3), and
Solaris (2.6, 2.8, 2.9).

The checks running off our server to remote hosts all return expected
data (up, warn, critical, etc) without a problem.

We set up NRPE daemons to run on OSX, Linux, and Solaris (compiled
separately on their respective environments). When the server contacts
linux or OSX, nrpe responds as expected. When it contacts solaris we get
the following output in the log (with verbose logging on):

nrpe[10566]: [ID 654915 daemon.debug] Connection from SERVER
nrpe[10566]: [ID 797369 daemon.debug] Host address checks out ok
nrpe[10566]: [ID 879649 daemon.debug] Handling the connection...
nrpe[10566]: [ID 421412 daemon.error] Could not read request from client, bailing out...
nrpe[10566]: [ID 903583 daemon.debug] Connection from SERVER closed.

We use check_nrpe from solaris to solaris and it works well.
Unfortunately, when we attempt to go the other way (solaris to mac), we
get the same failure as above.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

-Brian
