FAIL nsca service_limit

[Ian Davidson]

On my central server (in a distributed environment) I'm seeing the following
error in /var/log/secure


Jun 29 17:27:47 schumi xinetd[23752]: START: nsca pid=23361
from=172.26.192.37
Jun 29 17:27:47 schumi xinetd[23752]: START: nsca pid=23362
from=172.26.192.37
Jun 29 17:27:55 schumi xinetd[23752]: FAIL: nsca service_limit
from=172.26.192.37
Jun 29 17:27:55 schumi xinetd[23752]: FAIL: nsca service_limit
from=172.26.192.37


If I manually try and submit a submit_check command on a distributed server
I get the error...

[root at brundle bin]#
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result emea-cns3 'Halo'
OK '27'
Error: Server closed connection before init packet was received
Error: Could not read init packet from server


All in all, the service states are not getting received or processed by the
central server, rendering it pretty useless. I don't think I've changed
anything in the setup recently but does anyone know how to fix this issue??

The /etc/xinitd.d/nsca on the central server looks like this:

# default: on
# description: NSCA (Nagios Service Check Acceptor)
service nsca
{
        disable = no
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        group           = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nsca
        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/var/nsca.cfg --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
#       only_from       = 127.0.0.1,172.26.33.68
        cps             = 500 30
}


Many thanks,

Ian
