SSL - nrpe and check_nrpe

Post by nagisami »

Hello,

Do nrpe and check_nrpe do encryption by default without certs?

I understand encryption with certificates adds most secure layer. However I'm not sure how much overhead it adds to the client/server communication and keeping up certs updates on thousands of hosts?

How do people manage SSL with NRPE?

Please advise,
Thanks
