Nagios Support Forum

I have seen multiple posts regarding this error online from several years ago, but I not come across an ease solution.

With inetd:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H efkxedat
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

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

As Daemon:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H efkxedat
NRPE v2.15

I compiled nrpe V 2.15 on both the client and the server.

Nagios server has OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips (RHEL 7.2)
Nagios client has OpenSSL 0.9.8y (AIX 6.1)

I have read posting referring to an issue with nrpe not being handle STDERR correctly.
It mentions redirecting STDERR within the script or making sure that the client and server are using the same version of SSL.

Is there an official statement as to how this should be handled?

Can you send your inetd configuration and relevant logs?

I guess that depends on what you mean by handling correctly. The needed information should be in the logs I requested.
