Socket timeout issue

[Jesús Arnáiz]

I think I have some similar problem. I use nrpe as a daemon:
/usr/local/bin/nrpe -d -c /usr/local/etc/nrpe.cfg

My cfg says:
command_timeout=60
connection_timeout=300

But I see the "Socket timeout after 10 seconds" error. I thought it 
should wait 60 for the command and 300 for the connection. What is wrong?

Thanks for your help
