INETD and NRPE daemon in solaris 8

[Luc I. Suryo]

try this
	check /etc/service, is the port define for the service?
	if the port you had defined is < 101 the service	
	will need to be run as root.

i have to admit that i have under tcpwrapper too and not sure if this
may help but try
	-i (or --inetd) -c ....
	so the last arg. being the config file...
	
not much.. 

-ls
