NRPE daemon and Nagios Plugins Installer

[Michael Carel]

I'm also using a non-SSL on nagios server. I've also
tried to run it using inetd in HP-UX using the
following config:
/etc/inetd.conf
nrpe         stream tcp nowait root /opt/nrpe/bin/nrpe
-c /opt/nrpe/etc/nrpe.cfg -i
/etc/services
nrpe    5666/tcp        #nagios daemon


The nagios server responding to a "CHECK_NRPE:
Response packet had invalid CRC32." Trying to check
the port on the nrpe daemon using telnet <nrpe host>
5666 , the responses shows:Escape character is '^]'.

Usage: nrpe -c <config_file> <mode>

Options:
 <config_file> = Name of config file to use
 <mode>        = One of the following two operating
modes:
   -i          =    Run as a service under inetd or
xinetd
   -d          =    Run as a standalone daemon
...... etc



Any idea why? or do i missed something with the
config?
