Nagios and NRPE under 10.4

[Anonymous]

Has anyone had success in getting nrpe running on 10.4 properly servicing calls requests from nagios?

It and the plugins seemed to configure and make alright. I created a launchd plist for it and it appears in the output of ‘launchctl list’ (included below)

I added an entry in /etc/services and can see the listener with netstat.

I keep getting this error in the systemlog:
nrpe[2993]: Network server bind failure (48: Address already in use)

And nagios reports the following:
CHECK_NRPE: Error – Could not complete SSL handshake.

I’ve confirmed that check_nrpe and nrpe are the same version and both seem to be compiled with SSL support.

thoughts?

I just googled for the same problem and found this thread…

In short : – The first programArgument is not needed. And I needed to add a working directory. Here’s part of my nrpe.plist :

<dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.nagios.nrpe</string>
        <key>UserName</key>
        <string>www</string>
        <key>GroupName</key>
        <string>www</string>
        <key>Program</key>
        <string>/usr/local/nrpe/nrpe</string>
        <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
        <string>/usr/local/nrpe/</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>-c nrpe.cfg</string>
                <string>--inetd</string>
        </array>
