All the emails I got had this problem: Connection refused by host I did some digging around today and I didn't get anything definitive=2C but= I did notice there was a time correlation between the messages and certain= log entries that seem to be associated with various cron jobs. Is it poss= ible that I'm getting false positives due to my servers servicing these job= s and not being able to respond to Nagios queries? - Joe _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?
