Nagios Support Forum

Hi everyone. I'm having a bad time installing Solaris agent. After the successful installation I'm still unable to use NRPE.

I was wondering if forgot something. By the way, the agent install guide pdf leads to 404 page: http://assets.nagios.com/redirects/redi ... _Agent.pdf

-bash-3.00# /opt/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
Connection refused by host

Install logs attachment: Thanks in advance.

I'll start with giving you an updated link to the doc:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

it might help explain where you need to add the CIDR addresses for the Monitoring server(s) IP addresses.

The instructions it's pretty silly. Doesn't helped me. But dmesg helped me found that the problem it's related to libc.

[ Dec 11 16:48:07 Method "start" exited with status 137 ]
[ Dec 11 16:48:07 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/nrpe start") ]
ld.so.1: nrpe: fatal: libc.so.1: version `SUNW_1.22.7' not found (required by file /opt/nagios/bin/nrpe)
ld.so.1: nrpe: fatal: libc.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

Did you resolve the libc problem or do you still need help?

Nope, I'm still stuck with this. My last try was to compile nrpe from source. But now i'm getting the following error:

Dec 11 19:51:13 svncdes2 inetd[7780]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Failed to set credentials for the inetd_start method of instance svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default (chdir: No such file or directory)

Run this:
What is the user account?

Does this user account have a home directory?

I gathered these steps from here (not specifically NRPE related but similar problem):
http://linuxscroll.wordpress.com/2011/0 ... directory/

It was the home directory Box293! Thanks a lot!

Great. I will go ahead and close this thread.
