allowed_hosts is only applied if nrpe is running as a daemon. If you're running under a service framework such as inetd/xinetd and apparently SMF according to your experience, it's ignored. The Solaris 10 servers I was monitoring were decommissioned last week so I can't help much with examples of a running configuration unfortunately. -- Phil Costelloe Foundation IT, Hermitage Berkshire RG18 9SE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
