[oz]

Hello,

allow me to demonstrate the problem wit the new 
End-of-Transmission-Block (ETB).

1.) Without Xiwen's hotfix:

munin.conf:
contact.nagios.command /usr/sbin/send_nsca -H 192.168.x.x -c 
/etc/send_nsca.cfg
-->
Oct  2 00:50:08 dallas nsca[25407]: Handling the connection... 
 
 

Oct  2 00:50:08 dallas nsca[25407]: Time difference in packet: 0 seconds 
for host localhost.localdomain 
 

Oct  2 00:50:08 dallas nsca[25407]: SERVICE CHECK -> Host Name: 
'localhost.localdomain', Service Description: 'Temperature Home', Return 
Code: '2', Output: 'CRITICALs: temperature is 23.31 (outside range 
[18:23]).\nlocalhost.localdomain#011Temperature Home via 
IPv6#0112#011CRITICALs: temperature is 23.31 (outside range [18:23]).'

2.) With Xiwen's hotfix:

192.168.x.x -c /etc/send_nsca.cfg
