URGENT REPOST: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0bytesfromdaemon ErrorMessage

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

I checked the inetd.conf file for HP-UX and it differs from Solaris in that 
it does not require the name of the program after the user field. I did remove
nrpe from the file to see if that made a difference, and unfortunately it did
not.

Solaris requires the name of the server program and then the arguments,
which include argument 0 (the name of the program). So that would be :

    nrpe stream tcp nowait bin /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd

Not sure if HP-UX inetd.conf works the same way.

-d

I'd say that you either want to run as a daemon or run under inetd, not
both.
