Thanks, I've taken the steps you mentioned to ensure it only binded to localhost.
I'm very confused here though. I have monit installed on a Server, physically residing somewhere else. I want to be able to access it through my laptop to view the processes and other information. Is this possible from a laptop that has a dynamic IP address? If I have it setup to only use localhost I don't see how I can connect to it from another system. Maybe I am missing something. Any assistance would be great. Thanks again! Adrian On 2/18/08, Jan-Henrik Haukeland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The config file is okay.
