A very nice guide to install NRPE and nagios-plugins on Solaris 10 can be found here.
To stop/start the NRPE, you can use the following command:
svcadm disable svc:/network/nrpe/tcp svcadm enable svc:/network/nrpe/tcp
If you keep getting the “CHECK_NRPE: Error – Could not complete SSL handshake.” message, see this FAQ comment
