Nope, errors still exist.
But you bring up a good question: Why *not* NSCA?
One thing that's been hammered into me on www.infrastructures.org: Have the clients contact the central server, not the other way around.
In the case of NSCA, I own Nagios and root on the monitoring server. It doesn't matter if someone merely grants me non-root access on their host; I can (once I get NSCA to compile :P ) just install NSCA and the plugins, and off I go.
In the case of NRPE, I'm guessing one needs root privs...? I can't say that I've taken a look at this tarball, so don't know if it requires a privileged port. (I realize that a privileged port isn't required for NSCA.) I'm also wondering about things like: scalability on the monitoring server, and (lack of) crypto/authentication on the client.
Thoughts?
