Linux NRPE install

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:
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.

*Note* Red Hat Network repositories are not listed below. You must run this comm
and as root to access RHN repositories.

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

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.
Error Class Code: 31
Error Class Info:
This system does not have a valid entitlement for Red Hat Network.
Please visit
https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/systems/Syst ... lements.do
or login at
https://rhn.redhat.com, and from the "Your RHN" tab,
select "Subscription Management" to enable RHN service for this system.
Explanation:
Your organization does not have enough Management entitlements to register this
system to Red Hat Network. Please notify your organization administrator of this error.
You should be able to register this system after your organization frees existing
or purchases additional entitlements. Additional entitlements may be purchased by your
organization administrator by logging into Red Hat Network and visiting
the 'Subscription Management' page in the 'Your RHN' section of RHN.
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.
