CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon help needed

[roadbox]

Hello Linux challenged here
I've yet to successfully use the npre/check_nrpe tools, but I sure wont to
I believe my problem is in the .cfg  files...I 've enclosed them below...

Could someone "correct them" and/or post a working example for me to 
adjust appropriate to my system

#############################################################################
# Sample NRPE Config File
# Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)
#
# Last Modified: 03-05-2003
#
# NOTES:
# This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon.  It needs to be
# located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host
# from which the check_nrpe client is being executed.
#############################################################################



# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.
# NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024).
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or 
xinetd

server_port=5666



# SERVER ADDRESS
# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or 
xinetd

#server_address=192.168.1.1



# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed
# to talk to the NRPE daemon.
#
# NOTE: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
#       address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your
#    /etc/hosts.allow file to allow only the specified host to connect
#    to the port you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or 
xinetd

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1



# NRPE USER
# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as. 
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or 
xinetd

nrpe_user=nagios



# NRPE GROUP
# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as. 
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or 
xinetd

nrpe_group=nagios



# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed.  This option only 
works
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure 
script
# option. 
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security 
implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments

dont_blame_nrpe=0



# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# syslog facility.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on

debug=0



# COMMAND TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.

command_timeout=60



# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE
# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external 
config file.

#include=<somefile.cfg>



# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY
# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).

#include_dir=<somedirectory>
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>



# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are
# examples only!

# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...

command[check_users]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 
30,25,20
command[check_disk1]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p 
/dev/hda1
command[check_disk2]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p 
/dev/hdb1
command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 
10 -s Z
command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 150 -c 
200

# The following examples allow user-supplied arguments and can
# only be used if the NRPE daemon was compiled with support for
# command arguments *AND* the dont_blame_nrpe directive in this
# config file is set to '1'...

#command[check_users]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$
#command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
#command[check_disk]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$ -p $ARG3$
#command[check_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c 
$ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
