I'm using Nagios 4.0.8 - could THAT be the problem?
I don't see anything in the change logs of Core or NRPE to suggest upgrading will fix anything, but the following suggests you should upgrade
* Fixed another root privilege escalation (CVE-2016-9566)
* Fixed a root privilege escalation (CVE-2016-8641)
* Fixed vulnerability CVE-2008-4796 (John Frickson)
* Fixed vulnerability CVE-2013-4214 (John Frickson)
* web interface vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks (John Frickson)
Did you install from distro repos or compile from source? If you compiled from source:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ading.html
If we are hitting some sort of bug in Windows compatibility, we should make sure it exists in the latest version anyway.

Good afternoon, folks - I've just been given authorisation for a new Nagios server with 4.2.2 on it, so I'll address this when I have that built.
Have a good weekend, all.
Pete

Is there any reason they didn't give auth for 4.2.4? Both 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 have important security fixes...or maybe that's just a typo.

Sorry, it WAS a typo - it's 4.2.4 that I'll be installing.

Fantastic. I don't know how soon you are planning to upgrade, but 4.2.5 should be out soon. Normally I don't suggest putting off upgrades, but if you have to go through an approval process of each upgrade, it might make sense to wait for 4.2.5. I honestly don't know what is coming in 4.2.5.
I think 5.x is also not far off, but 4.2.5 will almost certainly be first.
