nagios-nrpe (3.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
The check_nrpe command definition has been updated to remove the
arguments option, because nagios-nrpe-server does not support
command arguments since 2.15-1. And the check_nrpe_1arg command
definition has been removed.
If you're using the check_nrpe_1arg command in your Nagios/Icinga
configuration, you need to replace it with check_nrpe.
SSL support is disabled by default, the reworked SSL/TLS support in
NRPE requires configuration before it can be used. Read the
instructions in /usr/share/doc/nagios-nrpe-server/README.SSL.md.gz
before enabling SSL support in /etc/default/nagios-nrpe-server.
The default check_nrpe command in check_nrpe.cfg has been updated
to disable SSL by default too. The check_nrpe_ssl command has been
added to connect to the NRPE daemon over SSL.
Beware that the new NRPE daemon only works with old check_nrpe
plugins when SSL support is disabled on both sides, likewise the
new check_nrpe plugin only works with the old NRPE daemon when SSL
support is disabled.
To use SSL between the NRPE client and server, configuring Stunnel
is recommended.

nagios-nrpe (2.15-1) unstable; urgency=high
This update disables the command-args support in nrpe. The feature
has several security problems and is often used wrong. If you have to
use this feature recompile the package with --enable-command-args
in debian/rules.

nagios-nrpe (2.12-4) unstable; urgency=low
The pidfile creation mechanism changed with this update. If you do not
add "pid_file=/var/run/nagios/nrpe.pid" to you nrpe config take care that
the user "nagios" is able to write to your pidfile location. You can also
change the initscript to create the pid directory on your own.

nagios-nrpe (2.12-3) unstable; urgency=low
The homedirectory of the nagios user moved to /var/lib/nagios
which is now common on all nagios related packages. Its recommended
that you migrate an already existing nagios user to use /var/lib/nagios
as homedirectory.

nagios-nrpe (2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
the nagios-nrpe-doc package is no longer provided. the documentation
can now be found in /usr/share/doc/nagios-nrpe-{server|plugins}. new
versions of the plugin and server packages conflict with the doc
package to prevent the old (and possibly incorrect in the future)
documentation from remaining. to fully purge all information about
the package you should run:
dpkg -P nagios-nrpe-doc
