Dear Dean,

This is from the NSClient README:

"Reported issues 

Wrong memory information reported by NSClient on some machine having
lots of memory (bigger than 1GB). This is a Windows NT 4 bug and,
according to Microsoft, should be corrected in SP7. "

I'm not sure what you are experiencing is this same bug. What service
pack level do you use? I am monitoring quite some Windows NT 4.0
servers with 4 GB of RAM and they don't have this problem. They all
have SP6a installed (Terminal Servers have SP 6 which is in fact the
same).

Kind regards,
Tom
