Hi, Phil (and the others who wrote with suggestions):

I've tried running nsca under inetd, both with and without tcp 
wrappers. I've tried opening up /etc/hosts.allow, on both the central 
server (running nsca) and the distributed server (running send_nsca). 
Nothing seems to work.

Although nsca runs fine as a standalone daemon, it stubbornly refuses 
to run under inetd, yielding the following message on the distributed 
server if I attempt to run send_nsca manually:

# ./send_nsca {arguments}
Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
Error: Could not read init packet from server

I'm stumped. Any other thoughts?

As a side thought... what are the costs and benefits of running nsca 
under inetd as opposed to as a standalone daemon? My efforts to run 
nsca under inetd may be moot, depending on the answer to that question.

Yours,
Michael
