Hi all,

Problem: When using nrpe - i get the error message,
"are we allowed to connect to the host?"

Scenario: The plugins are all correctly configured as
everything works 99% of the time. Sometimes (perhaps
when network congestion is at its height) i get this
error message relating to multiple hosts. I have
played with timeout values (roughly at 240 seconds
now) and the usual "timeouts" with plugin "warning and
critical" have stopped. 

Usually this error message is received if a plugin is
not correctly configured (on remote host) where the
"allowed_hosts" parameter in nrpe.cfg is not correct.
The nrpe.cfg in question is correctly configured and
therefore this error doesnt make sense globally.

Any ideas ??

Thanks for your time and patience,
Have a great day!
Glen.
