NRPE INSTALLATION ERROR!

[RIDS_I2MP]

Hello Team,

We were trying to install NRPE agent on Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS server.

We were using below document:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf

The installation got failed with the below error:

root@C00XAPL055:/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent# ./fullinstall
============================

this looks like the system could not reach out to the repositories to download the required packages.

Is this system behind a proxy? Does it have proper DNS resolution setup?

Hello,

I am not sure about the answer to your questions.
I will check with the server owner and get back to you.
