Can not check Debian host

[Wim De Geeter]

  Thanks, but I did this and I got the connection on port 5666 so I
am sure I can make the connection with the nrpe daemon. But what
about the error I got ( nrpe: Could not read request from client,
bailing out...) on the debian server when I make the connection from
the nagios server.
