The previous check_nrpe command + definition which disables SSL support is available with the new + check_nrpe_nossl command definition. + + -- Bas Couwenberg <sebastic@debian.org> Fri, 07 Jul 2017 13:48:38 +0200 + +nagios-nrpe (3.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium + + The check_nrpe command definition has been updated to remove the + arguments option, because nagios-nrpe-server does not support + command arguments since 2.15-1.

The check_nrpe_ssl command has been + added to connect to the NRPE daemon over SSL. + + Beware that the new NRPE daemon only works with old check_nrpe + plugins when SSL support is disabled on both sides, likewise the + new check_nrpe plugin only works with the old NRPE daemon when SSL + support is disabled. + + To use SSL between the NRPE client and server, configuring Stunnel + is recommended. + + -- Bas Couwenberg <sebastic@debian.org> Mon, 05 Dec 2016 01:16:46 +0100 + +nagios-nrpe (2.15-1) unstable; urgency=high + + This update disables the command-args support in nrpe.
