Centralizing NRPE Configuration

[Cipriani, Robert C]

I had ran across cfengine when looking to manage Kickstart configs. I will definitely give it a look. I'm sure we have a use for it elsewhere. Thank you.

I use cfengine for that purpose.  I have it copy the config from the
central server then restart the nrpe daemon.  Might be a little overkill
for just this one thing, but it's useful for all sorts of stuff.

Is there a better way to manage this? I'd like the Nagios server to be a central point of configuration. I am using nrpe's --enable-command-args option and passing parameters via check_nrpe, so once the monitored host has the nrpe.cfg, there wouldn't be much to do there.
