Mew Version NC_Net v4

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi Everyone,

I just finished updating the sourceforge site with the new install for
NC_Net.
I have not had a lot of feedback from testers, but I have done a lot of
testing myself.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net
The document section of NC_Net on sourceforge also has been updated.

there should not be a lot of issues with this release.
I urge everyone, (who uses NC_NEt) to at least try it out on one Host.

This update had a lot in it, the end of this message has the updates and
fixes list.
Some of the big things, are a improved EventLog check, Passive Host checks,
improved check_nc_net, and fixed that space in path issue for using
WIn32_send_NSCA
for issues or comments: Please visit the Forum on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net , or email NC_Net at MontiTech.com

WHats New in NC_NEt v4:

-Added new password system
-Moved writing Event Log Entries from NC_NEt to a seperate thread.
-Writing to Event Log now has Error checking and Handling, in case it fails.
-Moved some Global Variables to local.
-Added a configurable timmer into the Counter Check (this allows for more
accurate Counter results)
-Added Passive Host Checks
-Removed Error reporting From The Embeded_send_nsca (the Error Reporting is
handled in the Wrapper call to this class)
-Converted Send_nsca Event Log Entries to Warnings instead of Errors.
-Enhanced Check_nc_net with -a to allow for more than 1249 bytes by printing
directly to output when recieving string is full.
-Fixed External_send_nsca, now it allows for a space in the path.
-Fixed the Event log entries for when passive_always_on so that it does not
report Testrun info.
-Added functionallity to Passive checks to allow for any command to be
redirected to the Active checks. (this is a fallthrough for when the command
is not explicitly defined as a passive check but it exists as an active
check)
-Modified The Accept_IP_List so now it also acceplts FQDN
-Added a Timout to the NC_NEt Active check commands recieved via the active
check socket.
-added GETALLCHECK (added in 3.05) this is an active check that reports back
the results of the last passive check of each <Service Desc> that was run.
-ECHO command added
-RUNSCRIPS (added in 3.05) has a Syncronous counterpart, This one does not
have its own TImeout, it must use the Active check TImeout.  but it allows
for running some scripts that fail with asyncronous output.
-Added EVENTLOG_NEW this is a new and improved EventLog check, it is issued
as a new command because the expected input has been simplified.
-Added WMICAT_NEW this will give a different output than WMICAT. it is
expecting a paired list of Label,Attribute.   and give result of
Label="attrubute"
-Added Command FIles this allows for running a series of check that were
preloaded into a config file. issueing the active check calling one of these
files, will run the commands in the file and then return the results in one
concatinated output.
-Added CHANGEPASS for changing the password since it is handled differently
than prior versions of NC_NEt.
-Added -l to passive check CLIENTVERSION
-Modified Working Directory of RUNSCRIPTS to be the Script directory.
-Pruned some of the older extra documentation files out of the project.
-Modified the existing Documention files.
-Added DOCUMENTATION.HTM as new Starting point of Documentation (with new
commands only)
-Added new Welcome screen to the installer.
