SSL Confirmation

[Will Chase]

  New user to the group here... Sorry if this is a repeated question, I 
haven't been able to find it in searches.

I have a few machines running CentOS 5.5. I have a working Nagios 
configuration installed, monitoring some basic and non-basic checks, 
most over NRPE.

I was asked me to make sure that the data is encrypted over SSL, and 
after doing some research, it looks to me like NRPE operates over SSL by 
default if both host & client have compatible version of openssl.

Can anyone verify that this is true? I have run "check_nrpe" manually 
and verified that the handshake occurs without the "-n" flag. If I add 
the flag, the handshake fails... Which leads me to believe it's already 
running over SSL.

If this is true, where is the encryption info stored by default (keys, etc)?

Thanks,
W
