I'm running nsca Version: 2.6, which doesn't appear to support the allowed_hosts variable. The fact that I'm able to see a vaild tcp session would show that nothing is blocking it??

OK, that still leaves one question (I feel like a dentist):

If standalone, is the nsca server configured to allow connections from your clients?

This would be "allowed_hosts" in the nsca config file.

At this point, It might be good to add the questions:

Have you tried enabling debugging in the nsca config?
What does your nsca config look like, anyway?
Can you telnet to port 5667 on the nsca server?

When I run it manually, it times out after 10 seconds.
I have iptables allowing port 5667 from the distributed server and no
tcp wrappers enabled.
I have enabled debug for nsca on the central server.  According to
/var/log/messages events are getting to the server, but just not being
read by nagios.

1.  It times out at 10 seconds.  I also tried setting ocsp_timeout=30.
2. I'm really not sure what log to look at on the server side, I was basing the connection established on tcpdump after seeing a handshake take place.
3.  nsca is running under init.d as a service.

What, if anything, appears in the logs on the server side?

How are you running nsca?  inetd?  Standalone?

If standalone, is the nsca server configured to allow connections from
your clients?

Give us something to work with here.

Subject: [Nagios-users] NSCA Time Out

I'm having an issue with nsca in a distributed setup.  I keep getting

the following error
 "Warning: OCSP command
'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result_nsca
/host_name/ 'Check Ping Service' OK '$OUTPUT$'' for service 'Check Ping Service' on host '/host_name/' timed out after 5 seconds" I see the initial connection on the central server get established, so
I was assuming it was an encryption issue. For troubleshooting purposes, I have disabled encryption, but still see the same error.

I have the following defined on the
##distributed server.
in nagios.cfg
obsess_over_services=1
ocsp_command=submit_check_result_nsca

in checkcommnands.cfg
define command{
        command_name    submit_check_result_nsca
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result_nsca
$HOSTNAME$ '$SERVICEDESC$' $SERVICESTATE$ '$OUTPUT$'
        }

##central server
all services and hosts have been defined for the remote server, nsca is running, passive checks are enabled, and iptables rules have been set to allow the connection.
