[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#1006429: nagios-nrpe-server: compile options | allows clients to specify command arguments

[Manuel Gayer]

Package: nagios-nrpe-server
Version: 4.0.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The option "dont_blame_nrpe" in nrpe.cfg does not work as nrpe is not the build with "--enable-command-args" is not set.

I - and I think a lot of other people - want to set the warning and critical thresholds in my central monitoring server instead of in the nrpe.cfg of each host.

Could you please enable the option to do use this function?


Thank you in advance,
Manuel Gayer
