<tt>> - The base class for the server is Net::Server that provides for "free": </tt> <tt>A personal note: this is already a no-go for me.</tt> <tt>One of the main problems with nsca for me is the dependancy</tt> <tt>on libmcrypt. Reason is that there are no packages for the</tt> <tt>major linux distributions and installing third-party libraries</tt> <tt>on _every_ server we use passive checks is really a pain and</tt> <tt>a problem for us.</tt> <tt>I searched for the Net::Server library within the RedHat</tt> <tt>Enterprise Linux Repo and came up with no hit, so I assume</tt> <tt>it's only available online via CPAN. That's already a problem</tt> <tt>because most of our linux servers don't have internet access</tt> <tt>and providing them with one is major pain too.</tt> <tt>This is exactly the reason, that I have recently considered</tt> <tt>rewriting NSCA too, just to get rid of the libmcrypt. Else</tt> <tt>I don't see that much of enhancement needed - instead maybe</tt> <tt>making send_nsca a <put your favourite language here>-script</tt> <tt>for easier deploying to servers.</tt> <tt>Regards</tt> <tt> Sascha</tt> GFKL Financial Services AG Vorstand: Dr. Peter Jänsch (Vors.), Jürgen Baltes, Dr. Tom Haverkamp Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Dr. Georg F.
