Socket error: Connection refused

[Jason Martin]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A 'connection refused' means that nrpe isn't running at all, or isn't 
configured in inetd. 'Connection Refused' means that the kernel wasn't 
expecting a connection to that port. If NRPE is running but isn't 
configured to allow connections from that particular host then you'd get a 
connection that would open and immediately close.
