[Nagiosplug-help] Problem with NRPE and check_procs with -C or -a usage

[Kyle Smith]

Couple things...

- ensure you are doing this as the nagios user on the server
- running "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host" should return the nrpe version running on your remote.host, something like "NRPE v2.12"
