Summary: | 0003939: NRPE installation instructions urge to use inetd for tcp_wrappers | ||||
Description: |
The NRPE installation instructions strongly urge, that tcp_wrappers should be used to protect the installation. For this, it's written that inetd should be used. Right now, nrpe is launched as a standalone daemon. So that nrpe can be launched from inetd, the following line should be appended to /etc/services: nrpe 5666/tcp And to make inetd start/stop nrpe, add this line to /etc/inetd.conf: nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/sfw/sbin/tcpd /opt/csw/bin/nrpe -c /opt/csw/etc/nrpe.cfg -i On Solaris 10, that line should be written to some temporary file and then inetconv -i $temp_file_with_inetd_line is to be invoked. After that, it might be a good idea to enable TCP_WRAPPER support; on Solaris 10, do: inetadm -m svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default tcp_wrappers=TRUE For Solaris 8 & 9: tcp_wrappers is equivalent to the previous inetd's /etc/default/inetd property ENABLE_TCPWRAPPERS. So that inetd is able to start nrpe, the $HOME directory of the user starting nrpe (ie. "nagios") has to exist; IOW: /opt/csw/nagios must exist. On a host which only has nrpe (and maybe nagios-plugins) installed, that's not the case. |
