Giving up on NRPE, willing to try check_by_ssh...

[Flak Magnet]

Exerpt from [path]/check_by_ssh --help 

"The most common mode of use is to refer to a local identity file with
the '-i' option. In this mode, the identity pair should have a null
passphrase and the public key should be listed in the authorized_keys
file of the remote host. Usually the key will be restricted to running
only one command on the remote server."

Umm... yeah.  I have gathered from a couple of resources that this has 
something to do with ssh-keygen, a public file and a "authorized_keys 
functionality" within SSH but which gives me the feeling that I've been given 
some realy GREAT hints but no "Aha!"

If someone could kindly points me to a concise HOW-TO or somesuch I'd be quite 
happy to RTFM.

Thank you.
