Nagios Support Forum

This is:

>/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.


>/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -n
CHECK_NRPE: Response packet had invalid CRC32.

Run an nmap on the nrpe port: Also, what version of open ssl are you running? Lets make sure there is not more than one nrpe daemon currently running: Additionally, the allowed_hosts directive in nrpe.cfg should be *comma-delimited*: If you are using xinetd, lets check to make sure nrpe was declared in /etc/services: It should resemble: Also remember to restart the daemon after making any changes to the configuration.

Shipping answers.
thanks

ups, I've already changed

I restarted and:

Is upgrading openssl a possibility? (should be done anyways due to heartbleed . . .)

resolved after upgrading opnessl

Thanks and sorry for the delay in my response
