Check_by_ssh benchmarks

[Sean Knox]

Currently we use check_by_ssh to check private resources (disk, uptime, 
etc) on a small group of machines, as opposed to using nrpe. As ssh uses 
a good deal more resources than nrpe, at what point would unreasonable 
to use ssh to check machines? For the sake of conversation, say the 
Nagios monitor is is a PIII 1gig with 256 megs of ram.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sean
