This addon was designed as a replacemnt for the netsaint_statd and nrpe addons. Although this addon is similiar in function to nrpe, it is written in Perl and implements TripleDES encryption for the data in transit. It is also designed to run under inetd and make use of the TCP Wrappers package for access control. WWW: www.netsaint.org - Jon jon@netcraft.com
