check_by_ssh question

[Arnold Cano]

Has anyone implemented indirect host and/or service checks using only
check_by_ssh? I'm currently using nrpe but I am investigating a more
maintenance friendly scenario. My thoughts are that by basing checks off
of check_by_ssh for windows machines it would also make maintaining the
client configuration and plugins easier because of the ssh server
allowing shell access? Cygwin perhaps? I realize the initial setup will
require the public keys and null passphrase to be setup but that seems
worth it for the security and ongoing maintenance. Am I missing
anything? Is there a better way?

Thanks,

Arnold
