.SH NAME
nsca \- Nagios service check acceptor
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBnsca\fP [\fIoptions\fP]

.SH DESCRIPTION
The purpose of \fBnsca\fP is to allow you to send service check
results to a central monitoring server running Nagios in a secure
manner.
.PP
This program runs as a daemon on the central server that runs Nagios.
It listens for host and service check results from remote machines 
(sent using the send_nsca program described below).  Upon receiving
data from a remote client, the daemon will make a *very* basic attempt
at validating the data it has received from the client.  This is done
by decrypting the data with the password stored in the nsca.cfg
file.  If the decrypted data looks okay (i.e. it was originally
encrypted by the send_ncsa program using the same password), the daemon
will make entries in the Nagios external command file telling Nagios
to process the host or service check result.
.PP
Notes: The \fBnsca\fP daemon must have sufficient rights to open the Nagios
command file for writing.  Also, Nagios will only process passive
service check results that it finds in the external command file
if the service has been defined in the host config file (i.e. hosts.cfg)
and it is being monitored.

Service Checks:
.TP
<host_name>[tab]<svc_description>[tab]<return_code>\\
