I've just thought - the other way of doing this is to create a new ssh  
public/private key on the slave. Then put the public key on the master  
but you restrict the command in ssh to run only a certain command (see  
ssh documentation re: restricting the command).

This means that the slave can ssh to nag...@master, but can only run a  
single command, which can just be your cat command. This avoids having  
to change rc.opsview-slave and should be sufficient for your security  
needs.
