check_pop

[Russell Scibetti]

Sorry about my unclear email.  I am only talking about POP, not FTP.  My 
concern is that the default EXPECT value for check_pop (which can be 
found in the code for check_tcp) is "110."  You don't get back "110" in 
the return from a tcp connect to POP.  You get back a "+OK" in the 
return to know that everything is running.

I have sent an email to the devel lists about this and another bug in 
check_tcp (the actual default EXPECT values never get checked, hence why 
no one has seen the wrong EXPECT value for check_pop as a problem).

Also, I am referring to the Nagiosplug 1.3b2 release only.
