I'm not using check_by_ssh for any windows servers, since the only things I
need to directly check on them are remotely-accessible services (smb and so
forth).. however, I am using check_by_ssh extensively with all of our unix
servers.  It seemed to me to be the best way to do things, since all methods
require *some* work on the client machines (installing check scripts, at a
minimum), and other methods (such as NRPE) don't provide the same level of
security.
