Maybe your SSL libraries aren't in your ld.so path or something, or you have some other problem executing the NRPE plugin which will show up if you run the command yourself. If that fails, then you may want to recompile NRPE and make sure you have the check_nrpe and the nrpe daemon copied onto both systems (you may have a mismatched copy, the client with SSL, the check program without).

This was exactly what I was missing (to enable ssl during configuration before compilation).. I am using FreeBSD, so I used WITH_SSL=yes as compile option for nrpe port. So check your operating system and its package system for any configurable options for nrpe package. I am leaving from work, so I won't be online until morning. I hope my few lines will actually do some help. </blockquote> </blockquote> Most of the SSL errors I get are related to the allowed_hosts option. Check that your Nagios server IP address is on that line (separated by commas). Also, on your nagios server, run the check_nrpe command as the nagios user with exactly the same arguments as the Nagios server would have and display the error to us.
