[Nagiosplug-help] nrpe endian dependant?

[Philip Brown]

hi,

i'm having an odd problem with nrpe.

we've been using nrpe successfully for quite a while, on solaris sparc.

recently, we aquired some solaris x86 machines, and are now trying to 
integrate them into our standard nagios monitoring.

when I tried to use the standard stuff, however, I get:
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I've tried calling check_nrpe directly, with the same result.

however, when I call it from one of the other x86 boxes... it works?!

This makes me wonder if nrpe is somehow endian dependant?


Data for your perusing pleasure:

All 3 versions of nrpe and check_nrpe are the same, across boxes, and all 
are compiled with SSL:


x86 target box:
nrpe version:
Version: 2.0
Last Modified: 09-08-2003
License: GPL with exemptions (-l for more info)
SSL/TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required

x86 test box:
check_nrpe --version:
Version: 2.0
Last Modified: 09-08-2003
License: GPL with exemptions (-l for more info)
SSL/TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required

sparc nagios server:
check_nrpe
Version: 2.0
Last Modified: 09-08-2003
License: GPL with exemptions (-l for more info)
SSL/TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required



YET:
from the sparc, it bombs out, and from the x86 test box, it works fine.
the "allowed hosts" line has been checked and doublechecked as valid.

Here's debug log output from the working one:
