They aren't really forks. OpServices have simply taken over maintainership of NSClient (more or less, as the original author seems to have vanished). NSClient++ is a re-implementation in C++, with support for NRPE style script based checks as well. NC_Net does things through dot net stuff and some m$ voodoo, but incorporates the NSClient mode of address since that's what the official plugins support. So it's really three different agents. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
