Nagios NRPE configuration

Bud:
Please guys i need some help again  :D

I have 5 x SME 8 Servers and need to monitor them using Nagios (On another Distro  :sad: )

My question is all i want to do is install the NRPE Contrib on the SME 8 Servers, however when i get to " Allow the central Nagios server to access the NRPE service " as per the link http://wiki.contribs.org/Nagios_NRPE i cannot get the NRPE to install or configured on any of the SME 8 Servers

Please can you explain what i am doing wrong or what need to do to get NRPE Installed on the Remote SME Servers.

Any help greatly appreciated

Stefano:
you forgot to tell us the meaning of "i cannot get the NRPE to install or configured on any of the SME 8 Servers"

please remember that no one has a crystal ball so if you need help you must help us to understand your issue..

please report here the exact error message, thank you

Bud:
Stefano thanks for your reply

Sorry, what i want to know is that i followed the how to install as per link http://wiki.contribs.org/Nagios_NRPE for the SME 8 Servers.
When i get to the area where it says: 
========================
NRPE configuration
Create a the NRPE configuration file /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. Use the nrpe.cfg provided by this conrib as a starting point. Add the IP address of your central Nagios server to the variable allowed_hosts. Use the local IP of the central Nagios server if you check the server over the local network or over a VPN, otherwise use the WAN IP.
========================

There is No file called nrpe.cfg in /etc/nagios/ on the SME 8 Servers
I need to understand how to configure the nrpe.cfg file for the SME 8 Servers. Must i also forward port 5666/tcp to the SME 8 servers

Also what do i do in:
========================
Allow the central Nagios server to access the NRPE service

Add the IP address of the your central Nagios to Local Networks in the server-manager.

Configure the TCP wrapper. This is required for SSL connections to the NRPE.
=======================
The Remote Nagios Server is using DynDNS

Sorry for the Noob Questions  :)

Stefano:
bud, please, re-read carefully here

Stafano thanks for your reply  :)

I do know about the solution you pointed to - thank you mmccarn

However that was when i was going to use SME 8 with the " Nagios Server " Contrib as the " Nagios Server Monitoring Solution "

Now the client is using another distro with Nagios to monitor the 5 x SME Servers

Are you saying that I also need to install rhe " Nagios Server " contrib on all SME Servers including the " NRPE Contrib "in order for the NRPE " Client " to work on those servers?

Sorry i was under the impression that all i needed to do was install the " NRPE Client " Contrib on the SME Servers in order for Nagios ( which is on a different distro ) to monitor the SME Servers.

Please confirm
