Re: Audisp-remote - connection refused.

Hi Steve, I did check IPtables and I am not having any rules in there. I have allowed the connections in /etc/hosts.allow. But then I do not see auditd listening on port 60. It just shows "ESSTABLISHED" connection on the aggregating server - which is itself!
