I am getting this when the installation finishes

Again, like I said before it looks like you are using the wrong install file, this one is for centOS 4:

scottwilkerson wrote:For RHEL/CentOS 5-6 (el5 & el6) the install file should be:

Code: Select all

# wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz

Detailed install instructions may be found here
Installing_The_xi_Linux_Agent

So for version (gcc version 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13) (GCC) I should be using install file

For RHEL 4 & CentOS 4 (el4):
# wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... el4.tar.gz

That's the compiler version.
Your Redhat version, I'm guessing is 6 by the kernel you are running contains el6

Im still having trouble with some installs. Is there an error log on the client side I can look at?

I am getting - " bash-4.1# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 50.17.70.222
Connection refused by host
-bash-4.1#


Thanks

First I would check to see if to see if nrpe is running on 50.17.70.222

From the terminal on 50.17.70.222
Then I would look for any nrpe related errors with If all that looks good, I would look at possible firewall/iptables problems.
