<div>I have installed nagios and configured nagios on one server to monitor several servers with the check_ping plugin. Everything works great now I have installed NRPE on one of the remote servers running Fedora 4. I have edited /etc/services and added the following
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE</div>
<div> </div>
<div>and created a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ called nrpe the contents in it are</div>
<div> </div>
<div> # default: on<br> # description: NRPE<br> service nrpe<br> {<br> flags = REUSE<br> socket_type = stream <br> wait = no<br> user = nagios<br>
server = /home/nagios/nrpe<br> server_args = -c /home/nagios/nrpe --inetd<br> log_on_failure += USERID<br> disable = no<br> only_from = <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://1.2.3.4/" target="_blank">
