NRPE SSL Error

[Matt Wells]

I am running Redhat.  
I compiled the v2 on the server and copied the check_nrpe to the
libexec dir.  This is from the same compile as the clients.  Other
than the check_nrpe does the Nagios Server need anything else running
that perhaps I've not run?  The clients have the
/usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d for the
client.
The clients are in /usr/local/nagios and within this folder is
nrpe
nrpe.cfg
libexec/
libexec/check_lots_of_checks_here

  What kind of OS are you using?
  What kind of Nagios nrpe are you using on both client (nagios
server)
  side and on server (nrpe daemon on monitored server) side?

  I had same problem before, and it was due to nrpe v2 on monitored
  servers and its requirement to encrypt data with ssl. So I compiled
  nrpe v2 with ssl enabled on both sides and it is running.

   Cheers,
 Martin
