"Remote <host> does not support version 3/4 packets" logging with both check_nrpe & nrpe 4.0.0 #224

Closed sebastic closed 4 years ago

sebastic commented 4 years ago

When using NRPE v4.0.0 on both sides Remote <host> does not support version 3/4 packets is logged.

This can reproduced locally:

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe --version
NRPE Plugin for Nagios
Version: 4.0.0

$ /usr/sbin/nrpe -V
NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
Version: 4.0.0

# date && /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H localhost -4 ; grep "check_nrpe: Remote 127.0.0.1" /var/log/syslog

NRPE v4.0.0

Jan 22 11:49:17 foobar check_nrpe: Remote 127.0.0.1 accepted a version 2 packet

With debug enabled in nrpe.cfg, the logging shows:

CHANGELOG.md recommended to upgrade both for best results, but the new packet format is not actually used.

This seems the be the same issue as reported in #223.
