The allowed hosts only has the local loopback : 127.0.0.1 which confuses me a bit as the monitoring server is allowed to get the information. I would imagine it's being over-ridden by the hosts.allow file which allows the monitoring server IP in.
As for the tcp_wrappers...I haven't tried yet. Will try soon and post back. Any ideas on why i didn't have to allow the monitoring server IP in the allowed_hosts directive of nrpe.cfg?
