FWIW I approached the problem a different way - I wrote a simple bash
script associated with an SSH key that reads nrpe.conf and run the
requested command - it doesn't support arguments (yet) and require a
recent (regex-enabled) version of bash. On old servers I just compiled a
recent bash as "bash3" and used it in the #! line...
You can get the script here...
http://repo.or.cz/w/thomas_code.git/blo ... _ssh_proxy
Then set up a key on the monitoring server, authorized_keys on the
remote end (specifying the check_by_ssh_proxy script as forced command),
and use the nrpe command names the check_by_ssh command line.
