check_nrpe - Could not complete SSL handshake.

[Stalin]

To answer to who have replied so far...

5666 port is open for sure. here is the output

[nagios at host libexec]$ telnet remotehostname.com 5666
Trying xx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to remotehostname.com (xx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I'm running nrpe as a standalone deamon. so i assume there isn't any
need to add entries in hosts.allow.

Yes, i restarted nrpe after making changes to nrpe.cfg.

Also i'd like give some additional information to this problem. the ip
that shows in /var/log/messages file i.e. "Host xx.xxx.xxx.xxx is not
allowed to talk to us!" is NOT the ip address from where the request
origniated from. As the monitoring machine is behind the firewall, the
requesting nagios server ip gets natted at fw and sends an internal
address to nrpe deamon. In fact, i added the internal ip to nrpe.cfg
still no luck.

Regards,
Stalin
