check_nt and nsclient++: treat unknown as critical

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi Michael,

This is the default behaviour of NC_NEt.
since you are using Check_nt it should not require any modification of
Nagios config files to get running.

Worst case scenario is you can test it out and try an alternate plugin if
you do not like it.

Good Luck
