Use nrpe -n - H host This is what I see about ssl if I just run nrpe on the client without any flags: [root at ops:~] #nrpe| head -8 NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org) Version: 2.15 Last Modified: 09-06-2013 License: GPL v2 with exemptions (-l for more info) SSL/TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required TCP Wrappers Available And if I go back to the monitoring host and try to run nrpe with the -n flag, this is what I get: [root at monitor1:~] #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H ops.jokefire.com *CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.* And still getting the SSL error without the -n flag: [root at monitor1:~] #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H ops.jokefire.com *CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.* Running nmap from the monitor host I can see that the nrpe port is open: [root at monitor1:~] #nmap -p 5666 ops.jokefire.com Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2015-05-01 12:38 EDT Nmap scan report for ops.jokefire.com (54.225.218.125) Host is up (0.011s latency). rDNS record for 54.225.218.125: ec2-54-225-218-125.compute-1.amazonaws.com PORT STATE SERVICE *5666/tcp open nrpe* Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.14 seconds Yet if I try telnetting to it, it connects, then closes the connection immediately: [root at monitor1:~] #telnet ops.jokefire.com 5666 Trying 54.225.218.125... *Connected to ops.jokefire.com <http://ops.jokefire.com>.* Escape character is '^]'. *Connection closed by foreign host.* Going back to the ops host that I want to monitor, I can verify that the port is listening: [root at ops:~] #lsof -i :5666 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME xinetd 1434 root 5u IPv4 4063 TCP *:nrpe (LISTEN) And I can verify that the nrpe conf is owned by the nagios user and group: [root at ops:~] #ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 7988 May 1 00:37 /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg I think that covers all your suggestions. Except for Eero's suggestion to try running nrpe without xinetd. I can try to get to that later, but I may not have time for that suggestion today. But as I demonstrate above, the problem is not that nrpe isn't listening. This remains a really odd situation. Does anyone else have any clues?
