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
+make sure that you encrypt communications either 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.
