Public bug reported:
When the bind address specified in nrpe.cfg is not available and the
binding fails at startup, the startup/init script says that the service
was successfully started but really it was not. The server does not stay
resident and retry the bind. Therefore, I believe the proper behavior
here should be to report a failure.
Steps to reproduce:
apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server
nano /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
[change the bind address to one the system doesn't currently have, thus the
binding will fail]
service nagios-nrpe-server restart
Expected results:
init script reports [failed] like other services when they fail to start.
Actual results:
init script reports [OK], but service is not running. /var/log/syslog contains
the following:
Aug 31 18:24:35 ito nrpe[19683]: Starting up daemon
Aug 31 18:24:35 ito nrpe[19683]: Network server bind failure (99: Cannot assign
requested address)
