SEND_NSCA mimic login method

[Steve Shipway]

The send_nsca logic is not simple, since it includes checksums and
encryption in its data packet.  This is desirable because it increases
security.... I am currently  deciphering it in order to modify nt_syslog so
that it sends filtered alerts via NSCA instead of syslog (for simplicity)
and it's rather complex.  I already gave up on trying to implement it in
Perl!  I'd say, read the send_nsca source code.  If you can't understand it,
probably the task of writing a client is beyond your current coding skills.
