The NRPE plugin will encrypt the communications with NRPE by default. To be careful, I would recommend running NRPE under xinetd to leverage tcpwrappers and configure the Nagios server(s) that can communicate with NRPE. You may also wish to change the NRPE port for obscurity.
Also leave dont_blame_nrpe set to 0 whenever possible in the NRPE configuration. -John On Aug 24, 2006, at 4:00 PM, Rodrigo Maceno wrote: > Hello, > I would like to know if anyone knows how to the NRPE plugin take > the machines' information and give it to my Nagios' server?
