Hi, I keep getting this error and I don't know why..  When I install
nsclient on a windows macine, I provide the nagiosadmin password in the
client, as well as my nagios server IP address.   For some reason, I
keep having the Invalid password error message both on nsclient.log and
on the server logs, on th e server I also have Connection Refused.

 

Nsclient.log:

\NSClientListener.cpp:160: Invalid password (None).

cat /etc/nagios3/commands.cfg
