Hello all
I'm trying to check that SSH is running on a remote host using nrpe.
[root@astor plugins]# ./check_nrpe -H hostname -c check_ssh -p 22
But I get this error:
CHECK_NRPE: (ssl_err != 5) Error - Could not complete SSL handshake with <IP_address:1>
The remote host is running centOS7. Does anyone know what it means and how it can go away?
Thank you
CHECK_NRPE: (ssl_err != 5) Error
Re: CHECK_NRPE: (ssl_err != 5) Error
Try running check_nrpe -h and look at the SSL options.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestion. I've tried all the -S options but the same message was returned.
I then tried the -n flag (don't use SSL) and I got this message:
CHECK_NRPE: Invalid packet version received from server.
This is NRPE on the client

Hi gwesterman
It is working now. I had nrpe installed using yum. I re-installed it using ./configure --enable-ssl.
Many thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
