In a nutshell here were the pain points: 1. Firewall blocking access from client to daemon. 2. NSCA was set up to run in xinetd - but I left the "Only from = " blank.. When I enter the IP address of the client - walla it works. Question - is there a general setting I can use for "Only from =" to allow any host? Perhaps a wildcard?
