<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I execute all of these steps. I download the
tarball and ./confgure and make all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I put the check_nrpe plugin on the netsaint
host. On the remote machine I add the appropraite lines to
/etc/services and add the appropriate file to xinetd. I do
everything the install/readme tells me, and yet I still get a no-output
response on my linux machine. Any ideas on what I am missing would
really help, thanks
alot.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
