NRPE2 Problem FreeBSD <--> CentOS

M

Evening all! I'm in the process of replacing the infrastructure servers where I work with FreeBSD boxes. I'm currently on the Nagios server and all is going well between FreeBSD boxes and the one Gentoo box I have up to date.

The problem I have is that I can't seem to get nrpe on my FreeBSD box to talk to nrpe on centos. I've tried both the 2.12 version from epel and 2.13 from source and I get errors regarding SSL handshake with SSL turned on, and CRC32 errors when ssl turned off.

I realise it's more likely a centos problem but was hoping someone where had experience with this problem. I've tried recompiling 2.13 from source with openssl 1 libs but that wont compile.
 
The problem was FreeBSD's. If you compile nrpe2 with SSL enabled. It produces a client that doesn't want to speak to non-BSD nrpe clients.

It's strange, with that flag turned off, you can still talk SSL to CentOS boxes. I don't pretend to understand it, I just know it works. Writing this here for future reference.
