NRPE Install Error

[Scott Ackerman]

Marc,

yes, I think you 'hit the nail with my head', I had failed to add the
monitoring server's IP address into the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file. I think I
hear the echo of 'RTFM'.

I think your core problem is that you're only permitting connections from
localhost to talk to the NRPE daemon.
