Configuring Nagios on Solaris 10 (Sparc)

Question

Hi ,
     I’m having firecr bother getting Nagios working as a client on a T2000 .
Below are the details…
uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T2000
echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
I got the nagios plugin that I want compiled i.e
check_users
check_load
check_disk
check_procs
nrpe compiled fine as well…
but it returns nothing when you run the following command…
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg –d
dhs0931i-iedrs: svcs -a | grep nrpe
online Feb_10 svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default
I added the following entry to /etc/services:
nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE
I added the following line to the end of /etc/inet/inetd.conf:
nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /etc/nrpe.cfg –d
The following error appears in my log file
Feb 10 15:46:56 nrpe[18]: [ID 434846 daemon.error] Network server bind failure (125: Address already in use)
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks in advance,
Dermot

if you added it as a regular service, you shouldnt have to add it as something inetd should try and start as well.
does netstat -anf inet
show the nrpe port has been bound? if you have lsof, run lsof -i and see what process owns the nrpe port
