Wow, this really showed my error i think. I cant connect either on localhost:5667 nor from the server via telnet 5667... Could i ask you if you could walk me through how to troubleshoot this? That would really make my day :) yes, i use xinetd this is the config file : # description: NSCA (Nagios Service Check Acceptor) service nsca { flags = REUSE type = UNLISTED port = 5667 socket_type = stream wait = no user = nagiosadmin group = nagios server = /usr/sbin/nsca server_args = -c /etc/nsca.cfg .inetd log_on_failure += USERID disable = no only_from = 127.0.0.1 *.*.*.* } im a total tool coming to this, what should i change? :) /Rikard > Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 15:20:50 +0100 > From: dtuecks@googlemail.com > To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring remote hosts > > Hi Rikard, > > is your nsca daemon running (on your nagios host?).
