NSCA Time Out

[Morris, Patrick]

OK, that still leaves one question (I feel like a dentist):

This would be "allowed_hosts" in the nsca config file.

At this point, It might be good to add the questions:

Have you tried enabling debugging in the nsca config?
What does your nsca config look like, anyway?
Can you telnet to port 5667 on the nsca server?

When I run it manually, it times out after 10 seconds.
I have iptables allowing port 5667 from the distributed server and no
tcp wrappers enabled.
I have enabled debug for nsca on the central server.  According to
/var/log/messages events are getting to the server, but just not being
read by nagios.
