Nsclient++

[Hollick Matthew - ICT Systems Contractor]

Hi there,
 
Nope, you are right, we are not using passwords. 
Keeping backward compatibility with the existing nsclient infrastructure
which has not been configured to use passwords (can it?) has tied our
hands there. Security is provided by specifying the IP of the nagios
server in the nsclient++ config. Not ideal, but adequate for our
environment. 
 
Of course we would be interested in any patches, I have to admit that I
am especially interested in how the developer will be developing the WMI
side of things. Not quite sure how we could use it tho.....
 
On a more amusing note our internet filter has decided to block the
nsclient++ website. nakednuns.org is a fun domain name but begging to be
blocked.
 
Mat.

Hi Matt,

 

Thanks for the reply. I think we may have figured out the problem. It
only happens when you specify a password (check_nt -s ....). Do you have
it configured with a password?

 

We are patching the code and are gonna release it if anybody's
interested.

 

Simon

Hi there,

 

We are currently running nsclient++ 0.2.7 on ~20 windows 2003 servers. 

After 3-4 weeks I have not yet seen any crashes.

 

Our servers are currently on Servicepack 1.

 

We also run nsclient on ~200 servers.

I have seen nsclient crash when other services try to pinch it's port.

Sophos AV was the main culprit.

 

The NRPE functionality with nt_check backwards compatibility sold us on
nsclient++, we are

currently (slowly) upgrading all servers to nsclient++.

 

I will of course post should we see any crashes.

 

 

1. more thing, I did note that the systray icon feature did not work for
us - I guess it may be a bit flaky.

 

Regards,

 

Mat.
