Package: nsca
Version: nsca 2.7.2 does not recognize packages from nsca-client 2.9.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using encryption/decryption method 16 (RIJNDAEL-256), same /etc/send_nsca.cfg 
file.

nsca from squeeze / nsca-client from testing:

Apr 24 19:50:35 monitor nsca[16135]: Connection from XX.XX.XX.XX port 10630
Apr 24 19:50:35 monitor nsca[16135]: Handling the connection...
Apr 24 19:50:36 monitor nsca[16135]: Dropping packet with invalid CRC32 - 
possibly due to client using wrong password or crypto algorithm?

nsca from squeeze / nsca-client from squeeze:

Apr 24 19:55:10 monitor nsca[16891]: Connection from XX.XX.XX.XX port 19846
Apr 24 19:55:10 monitor nsca[16891]: Handling the connection...
Apr 24 19:55:11 monitor nsca[16891]: SERVICE CHECK ->  Host Name: 'servername', 
Service Description: 'Disk usage in percent', Return Code: '0', Output: 'OKs: /run 
is 0.00, /run/shm is 0.00, /dev is 0.00, / is 15.26, / is 15.26, /run/lock is 
0.00, /tmp is 0.00.'
Apr 24 19:55:11 monitor nsca[16891]: SERVICE CHECK ->  Host Name: 'servername', 
Service Description: '5 min Load average', Return Code: '0', Output: 'OKs: load is 
0.12.'
Apr 24 19:55:11 monitor nsca[16891]: End of connection...
upstream broke that. (even if they said they fixed it).

it could be that it works vice versa - putting a 2.9 server with 2.7 clients. but from what i've heard, that does not work either.

there seem to be more bugs in 2.9 itsself as well - see here http://www.nagios-portal.org/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=25672

problem is still the static packet size. they changed 512 -> 4096 bytes, which broke everything. then they put up a patch which should have added backwards compatibility for old_clients (like nsclient++ as well) and new_server
http://nagios.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nagios?view=revision&revision=1875

more or less, a different approach on the packet size - like the multipacket patch from opsview for nrpe - could work better in this regard. see here for some todos - https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2467
