<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I have an nrpe daemon working when I check
remotely running check_nrpe manually, but as run from the nagios daemon, it is
not returning anything and the service is stuck on “PENDING”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>How do I get more debugging info from nrpe?
I am running it with –d but only see startup and shutdown. I’m
guessing because syslogd isn’t configured to write info or debug anywhere….
I don’t have root on this particular box so I have to go through someone
else now I guess to get this syslog.conf change.. (right?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
