Windows Client...

[Anthony Montibello]

I think adding the capability of NC_Net checking all services that
startup is automaticly will not hurt.(particularly since individuals
see a need for it)   I would advise always check first that that
particular Host is running all the automatic services before adding
the service check to Nagios.

I should be able to get a more comprehensive check of services running
implemented into NC_Net early next week.  After I complete the first
release of Passive checks in NC_Net.
