Running check_nrpe without ssl

Post by paul_xedos »

Due to needing to support some very old versions of Solaris and HPUX and the difficulty of getting SSL to run, I would like to disable SSL in check_nrpe.
I understand that you pass the -n option and client and server side but how do you do this on the server side for it to run permanently as a daemon. I can not see any start script for check_nrpe that I can edit or the equivalent of a nagios.cfg server side

Regards
Paul

When starting the NRPE daemon on the Solaris and HPUX servers, you would use the "-n" option when starting the daemon to disable SSL when running the NRPE Agent.
The "-n" can be used for the NRPE Agent and the check_nrpe command to disable SSL at run time.
