NRPE on AIX client: "Are we allowed to connect to the host?"

[Mukarram Syed]

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to configure NRPE on an AIX client. 
Nagios Server is Solaris.  
When I try to telnet to port 5666, it connects but it
immediately drops the connection.
When I run the check_nrpe command from the solaris
host, I am getting the following:
root at gallileo:/# /opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe
elux-oems -c check_load
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes.  Are we allowed to
connect to the host?

I researched this error in Nagios and checked &
rechecked my inetd.conf "nrpe" section.  Port 5666 is
in the /etc/services file.  
First time trying to run nrpe on AIX.  Very much used
to Solaris and Linux.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
