I followed this suggestion, shut down xinetd, ran nrpe as a stand-alone, also added the nagios server in hosts.allow, and got good results (although no host in control panel)


able to run remote service checks:

bash-3.1# !1021
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.100.139 -c check_users
USERS OK - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;5;10;0
bash-3.1# !1013
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.100.138 -c check_users
USERS OK - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;5;10;0

able to telnet to 5666:

bash-3.1# telnet 10.0.100.138 5666
Trying 10.0.100.138...
Connected to 10.0.100.138 (10.0.100.138).
Escape character is '^]'.

checked the host.cfg file for this server and another server ( that is showing) to compare.. everything looks correct:

{not showing}
define host{
	use linux-server ; Inherit default values from a template
        host_name web02 ; The name we're giving to this server
        alias web02 ; A longer name for the server
        address 10.0.100.139 ; IP address of the server
}

define service{
        use generic-service
        host_name                       web02
        service_description             Home Page
        check_command                   check_http!ww2
}

{showing}

define host{
	use linux-server ; Inherit default values from a template
        host_name web03 ; The name we're giving to this server
        alias web03 ; A longer name for the server
        address 10.0.100.144 ; IP address of the server
}
define service{
        use generic-service
        host_name                       web03
        service_description             Home Page
        check_command                   check_http!ww2
}

tail /var/log/messages: (this part looks good)

Oct 12 15:50:33 sacdcweb02 nrpe[15883]: Starting up daemon
Oct 12 15:50:33 sacdcweb02 nrpe[15883]: Listening for connections on port 5666 
Oct 12 15:50:33 sacdcweb02 nrpe[15883]: Allowing connections from: 127.0.0.1,10.0.100.130

but then I see this also in the logs

nrpe[11817]: Unable to open config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg' for reading

when I do a "locate nrpe.cfg", its only found in one location:  /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg   --- looking at that file below- looks normal to me, and where is the application pulling this other nrpe.cfg location from, and how to change it? ((Or does that really not matter in this issue - seems like it would - and I need to focus elsewhere>?))
