This has slightly less ancient TLS support (allowing us to get rid of
use of openssl to build) but is not compatible with older versions.
The warning remains; if you are still using this it is recommended that
you don't:
WARNING: NRPE is deprecated upstream and no longer receives bug fixes or
new features. For some of the checks on remote servers that you might
otherwise make using NRPE, you may like to consider "manubolon-snmp" and
an SNMP daemon instead.
Add a no_ssl flavour to allow a non-SSL build (SSL doesn't really add
much in the case of NRPE as no authentication is done anyway).
guenther@ provided a diff to stay with libressl and use auto dh support
instead, but backwards compatibility is a problem there.
fix for metacharacter filtering (CVE-2013-1362) which was letting $(...)
through, reported by a couple of people.
this loses the v6 support but the fork which added this is currently dead.
changes and v6 support)
- remove unnecessary /dev/*random patch
- force libwrap detection via autoconf variables, it's less intrusive
than patching configure
NRPE is an addon for Nagios that allows you to execute "local" plugins
(like check_disk, check_procs, etc.) on remote hosts. The check_nrpe
plugin is called from Nagios and makes plugin execution requests to the
NRPE daemon running on the remote host (either as a standalone daemon
or as a service under inetd). Supports passing command arguments to
server, as well as native SSL/TLS encryption (anonymous DH mode).
