OK, I will use eth0 because I'd like to accept connections from outside. I have tried with its IP address and eth0. Is nmap the way to check if the port is open te receive connections? One thing has changed, syslog says: Apr 20 19:01:12 hostname collectd[6502]: Initialization complete, entering read-loop. Apr 20 19:02:48 hostname snmpd[1132]: Connection from UDP: [83.96.x.y]:45511->[83.96.x.y] Does this mean it is able to receive? > > _______________________________________________ > collectd mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
