ok thanks... It seems as though I'm now running into a problem in starting the daemon...

$ nrpe_aux -c nrpe$:nrpe.cfg -d

Do you have the correct address defined in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.conf under server_address?

yes... and for some reason I can not enable the nrped service in tcpip. which would explain why I can't start the daemon.

ok got it! well sort of... I had to add to the tcpip command...

with this:
set service NRPED /port=5666 /protocol=tcp -
/user=nrpe /process_name=nrped/flag=listen -
/file=nrpe$:nrpe.com /limit=50 -
/log=(file:nrpe$:'node'_nrped_run.log,all)

instead of:
set service NRPED /port=5666 /protocol=tcp /user=nrpe /process_name=nrped /file=nrpe$:nrpe.com /limit=50

but for some reason... I have the following in the log file. so let me ask this what address is the server address suppose to be, I thought it was it's own address, is this wrong? and allowed hosts is the Nagios server.

0: INFO: SSL/TLS initialized. All network traffic will be encrypted.
20: Connection from 192.168.14.15 port 11458
99: Host 192.168.14.15 is not allowed to talk to us!
20: Connection from 192.168.14.15 closed.

thanks

I believe it is asking for the Nagios server's address, otherwise it will bounce back active checks from Nagios, and in addition to that, not know where to send it's checks once it runs them..

well silly me for not knowing that the commands I was trying to run were supposed to be run on the server... I had my network team run it and voila!

20: Host address checks out ok
20: Handling the connection...
20: Host is asking for command 'check_test' to be run...
20: Running command: @nrpe$scripts:check_test.com
20: Command completed with return code 0 and output: Test of NRPED is ok

20: Return Code: 0, Output: Test of NRPED is ok

thanks for your help...

Ahhh! Most excellent, closing as resolved.
