Yup. I'll be adding a 'loglevel' variable, so this will be supported then.
While we're discussing future features I might as well mention some of
those I've been thinking about for some time now.
In the near future (2.x);
* plugin_path variable (to save some typing in config-file).
* VMS port (already done, actually).
* Logging to file instead of syslog, if chosen by user.
* Printing errors on stdout when in daemon-mode and un-fork()'ed.
* backwards compatibility in check_nrpe (already implemented).
* remove need for getopt.h, and write own arg-parsing routine.
* other minor changes
Somewhat farther down the road (3.x);
* strong encryption (dsa/rsa w public/private key challenge).
* command protocol to propagate configuration (and maybe keys).
* support plugin output of arbitrary length
If anybody has other ideas they want implemented, you can send an email
to me or Derrick, and we'll get in contact and talk things over before
we get to work.
