[Nagiosplug-help] Install NRPE on Solaris

[cesar pacheco]

Hi list

I'm trying to install NRPE daemon on Sun Solaris 9, following NRPE.pdf instructions.

I'm using Solaris9 as remote host. I've installed nagios-plugins-1.4.6, and nrpe-2.8 with next commands:

#cd /tmp/downloads/nrpe-2.8
#./configure --disable-ssl (Since I haven't Open SSL installed on my machine)
make all
#make install-plugin
#make install-daemon
#make install-daemon-config

Next, I edited my /etc/inetd.conf file and added ..
nrpe    stream  tcp     nowait  nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i

Next, I edited /etc/services file, adding ...
nrpe            5666/tcp                        # NRPE

Afterwards, I restart inetd
#pkill -HUP inetd

And I test the nrpe service state:
#netstat -a | grep nrpe
 *.nrpe               *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN

Everything seems working perfectly, but when I check the deamon ...
#/usr/loca/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H localhost

I get ...
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for error messages.

My log says ...
Jan 29 15:00:14 host1 nrpe[15449]: [ID 301881 daemon.error] Unable to open config file '//nrpe.cfg' for reading
Jan 29 15:00:14 host1 nrpe[15449]: [ID 576867 daemon.error] Config file '//nrpe.cfg' contained errors, aborting...

These are nrpe.cfg permissions:
#ls -l etc/nrpe.cfg 
-rw-r--r--   1 nagios   nagios      7102 Jan 29 14:41 etc/nrpe.cfg

Any idea?


Thanks in advance.
