NSCA server bind failure

[Richard Baker]

Hi everyone,

I'm using NSCA to submit passive checks to Nagios from the web via 
srvcheck.cgi but am encountering difficulties.  srvcheck.cgi correctly 
displays the return value of the check but the check is not submitted to 
Nagios as a passive check.

On the return page from srvcheck.cgi I get "Error: Server closed 
connection before init packet was received Error: Could not read init 
packet from server" and in /var/log/messages I get: "Network server bind 
failure (98: Address already in use)".  I have mapped port 5667 to nsca in 
/etc/services and netstat -anp | grep 5667 reveals nothing else trying to 
use that port.  The web page, cgi and NSCA are all on the same server as 
nagios.  NSCA is running under xinetd.

Does anyone have any ideas what this error might be and how to fix it?  Or 
is there another way of triggering a service check manually then 
submitting the result to Nagios.  I'm looking for something that is 
friendly to use.
