by default, in the configure script for nrpe detects the openssl libs, then it
will build nrpe with ssl enabled by default unless you explicitly tell it not
to, IIRC.

Sorry if this is a repeated question, I haven't been able to find it in searches. I have a few machines running CentOS 5.5. I have a working Nagios configuration installed, monitoring some basic and non-basic checks, most over NRPE. I was asked me to make sure that the data is encrypted over SSL, and after doing some research, it looks to me like NRPE operates over SSL by default if both host & client have compatible version of openssl. Can anyone verify that this is true? I have run "check_nrpe" manually and verified that the handshake occurs without the "-n" flag. If I add the flag, the handshake fails... Which leads me to believe it's already running over SSL. If this is true, where is the encryption info stored by default (keys, etc)?
