How To Fix NRPE “Could not complete SSL handshake” Error

If you get this obnoxious error fron Nagios/NRPE:
"CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake"
Make sure to comment out the following line in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
:
#allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1
Use this to test on MacOSX:
/opt/local/libexec/nagios/check_nrpe -H {IP}
NOTE: Be sure to fully stop and restart nrpe!
