If you do enable support for command arguments in the NRPE daemon,
|
|
-make sure that you encrypt communications either by using:
|
|
-
|
|
- 1. Stunnel (see http://www.stunnel.org for more info)
|
|
- 2. Native SSL support (See the `README.SSL.md` file for more info)
|
|
+make sure that you encrypt communications by using, for example,
|
|
+Stunnel (see http://www.stunnel.org for more info).
|
|
|
|
*Do NOT* assume that just because the daemon is behind a firewall
|
|
that you are safe! Always encrypt NRPE traffic!
|
|
|
|
+NOTE: the currently shipped native SSL support of NRPE is not an
|
|
+adequante protection, because it does not verify clients and
|
|
+server, and uses pregenerated key material. NRPE's SSL option is
|
|
+advised against. For more information, see Debian bug #547092.
