Jan, I think you still use the original/old NSClient, which listens on
port 1248. As this port is also used by M$ Exchange it was/is "community
default" to switch to port 12489.

If you install NSClient++/nscp nowadays it listens on 12489 as default.

I see Jan's problem here with changing the default port. But IMHO it
would be more up2date to change from NSClient to NSClient++/nscp and
from port 1248 to 12489.

My 2ç ;-)

bye
