Hi @dimsum,

How did you install NRPE on the host? Did you use our install script ( see Installing The Linux NRPE Agent) ?

This is common error that is usually caused by not adding the XI server IP address to the nrpe.cfg file. Did you re-start xinetd after making the changes to the nrpe configuration file?

Another common cause is that SSL was not compiled in NRPE.
