Hi,
It's solved!
I think I got confused by the file send_nsca existing on my Window2000 client. In fact NSClient just simply uses plugin check_nt to start the perfomance checking processes on wintel platform and get the checking results.
Thanks again!
Regards!

Hi,
Thanks for your replying!
In Nagio document it only mentioned the Indirect Host/Service Checks of NRPE, instead of NSCA. I have used one Linux box - intermediary agent behind firewall to collect all the client's host/service checking results, then central server gets all the information from this agent again. By this way I have implemented all UNIX clients indirect host/service checks because UNIX client's host/service checking uses nrpe. Now I want to do the same thing to all the Wintel clients, but Wintel client's checking is different, it uses NSCA (NSClient).
I am sill not clear about how window clients submit service (CPU/Disks...) checking result to central monitoring server by NSClient.
The server is running plugin "check_nt". Win2K clients are running NSClient and it seems to use send_nsca to send service checking result. So I get confused since NSclient can use send_nsca and send information to server's external command file why server still needs to run plugin "check_nt" to each Wintel client?
Thanks & Regards!

You'll likely either want to allow connections from your nagios server
through to your windows boxes that need monitoring, or use a unix/linux
box behind your firewall to do the checking, and then use "passive
checking" to push the results out to the central nagios server. Another
option is to allow ssh through the firewall to a particular unix/linux
host, and check_by_ssh.
