Hi @sisp,

Thanks for joining the community forum, does it start when you use the default mode?

Code: Select all

ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH
Currently, I don't believe NRPE supports that setting.
In an upcoming version of NRPE, it will be changed to something more secure, something like ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!LOW:!EXP:!RC4:!MD5:@STRENGTH. Note that if you have ssl_use_adh=2, this string will be overridden with ADH which only only allow ADH.
