Documentation isn't all too obvious on this, but the two versions are 
incompatible, due to some hasty mistake in the making of the packet 
structure of version 1.x. I'm working on creating a backward compatible 
check_nrpe, but I'm not done yet, so you'll just have to wait a while 
longer, or update nrpe on the solaris box to nrpe 2.0
