NSCA Error timeout after 10 seconds

[Mark Nadir]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your reply. I don't have alot of passive checking atm. I have 
upped the # of cps within the nsca file for xinetd and that seems to 
resolve the deactivation of connections.

However, I don't see the NSCA daemon responding to any inputs from nsca 
clients with debugging turned on. I am investigating whether or not it 
is a firewall issue, but I find this unlikely.

Is there anything you can think of that would prevent NSCA from 
communicating between daemon and client?
