Below is output

tmproot@usa7061lv955>./check_nrpe -H localhost
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

tmproot@usa7061lv955>telnet localhost 5666
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).

Hello ravish, please take a look at the following document, it outlines the most common errors you will see with NRPE and how to best resolve them:

Most probably, you haven't added 127.0.0.1 to "/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe" file:
After you add it, restart the daemon:
and try your check again.

Why do you want to run check_nrpe against localhost anyway?

Issue was solved .You can close this.

Problem is with /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg file.

Some unknown characters we re added.Removing them and restrating worked
