Check: "netstat -ulpn" for that port, on the same box you're running collectd on. I can't say I've tried it with the SecurityLevel/AuthFile stuff turned on before though, so no idea if there are any complications there. If there is some other issue, you might want to turn LogLevel to debug. _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
