Libwrap refused connection to nrpe

[Jake Solid]

I get the following messages on my nagios client when I run the check_nrpe
command from the nagios server.

Nagios Client Log Messages:

This is the output of my netstat on  the same Nagios client:

netstat -at | grep nrpe
tcp        0      0 *:nrpe                      *:*
LISTEN

These are the permission for the hosts files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 161 Jan 12  2000 /etc/hosts.allow
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 347 Jan 12  2000 /etc/hosts.deny


Any inputs?
