<DIV>I have been attempting in the last two days to get use nrpe on an AIX 4.3.3 system with no avail. It compiles but when attempting to use it, I get the following error:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV># ./check_nrpe -H {host to monitor} -c check_load<BR>CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, I gave up on that for now and will revisit it when I have time to research. I am giving an important demo to my IT managers in two days. They are excited about not having to possibly spend $140,000 to renew COMMANDPOST/Patrol.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I decided to use ssh instead. I did my research and configured ssh correctly on both machines, created the key on nagios server, shared the public key with remote AIX server. I can now as the nagios user on the nagios server login via ssh to the remote system's nagios user without a passphrase. Works great. However, whenever I use check_by_ssh, I am always getting prompted for a passphrase. I am at a loss on what I may be missing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I created the key with the following command:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV># ssh-keygen -t rsa1</DIV>
<DIV>I had to use the -t parameter. It was required.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am using the following command to connect to the remote server:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV># ./check_by_ssh -H hostname -l nagios -C check_load</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any assistance is greatly appreciated.</DIV>
