[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#545484: nagios-plugins-basic: enable SSL certificate validity check by default

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.12-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

A number of Nagios plugins include useful functionality when connecting over
SSL: they check if the certificate is still valid and report a warning or
error when it (soon) expires.

I end up enabling this functionality in my configurations each time because
it's not enabled by default. I haven't yet found a reason why it shouldn't
be enabled.

Attached is a patch that in the shipped configuration enables this useful
extra check.


cheers,
Thijs
