NRPE vs. check_by_ssh vs. nagios_statd

[Russell Scibetti]

I made an addition to the check_by_ssh code to allow for another argument:

-c <cipher-name>

that you can use to change what type of encryption to use.  I did this 
because we planned on trying to use "-c none" to see if it reduced some 
of the ssh-induced load.  We haven't actually tested its effects yet (we 
need to rebuild ssh to allow "-c none" first).  Does anyone know if this 
would make a big difference in ssh's scalability?  If so, should I 
contribute this back?
