Linux NRPE install

[Sbergonzi]

I'm installing NRPE on a linux server (version below) and the install failed. the last part of the install notes an error trying to find NRPE in the xinetd.d directory. I've run this install on a version 4 instance, no issue. First time running on a version 5 install. I can attach the full install.log if helpful.

I'm unclear as how nrpe gets there, thinking it is part of the install. Any suggestions?

thank you as always!!

Is xinetd installed on your system?

And how did you install NRPE? It looks like a yum install, but I want to make sure. Compiling from source is sometimes a bit more successful.

/etc/xinetd.d does exist. A good question on NRPE, like with the 4.x implementation I simply ran the ./fullinstall from
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ent.tar.gz

I haven't done anything extra.

Run the following command on the client machine, and show us the output:

Code: Select all

yum list installed xinetd

Also run:

Code: Select all

cd linux-nrpe-agent
./fullinstall | tee /tmp/nrpe-debug.txt

and upload the "nrpe-debug.txt" file, that was generated by running the above command in the "/tmp" directory.

/tmp/nrpe-debug.txt has nothing in it after running that command.

Can you show us the "install.log"?

adding install.log

It seems like your system does not have a valid entitlement for Red Hat Network. Yum is not working correctly for you at the moment, you are missing required packages, such as "openssl-devel", etc.

Please, register with RedHat and try the install again.

ok, thank you. I saw that as well and wasn't sure if could have caused the issue.
