NRPE
----

Put any local check command you need into /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg or
as a *.cfg file in /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/
These files are included from the /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

This package is built without support for command argument processing. If you
want to enable it, you will have to rebuild this package with
--enable-command-args in debian/rules.
The feature has several security problems and should not be used. If you
really need some dynamic argument processing try check_by_ssh or something
similar.

Do not rely on SSL mode for security
------------------------------------

NRPE contains an SSL mode which encrypts the data over the NRPE channel.
The current implementation does not verify client or server and uses
pregenerated key data by default. It cannot be fixed right away because
it would break the existing NRPE protocol.

Please refer to the file SECURITY.md in this directory for more information.
