NSClient++ 0.1.0 Alpha 2 released (Fixed NSClient bug, and perhaps NT4 support)

[Michael Medin]

Hi,

I released a new version with a pretty huge fix (NSClient listener was 
broken previously) and some minor things. Unfortunetly it took ages to 
track down a really nasty memory leak related to OpenSSL that I 
accidentaly added when I changed to Multitasking sockets so this is 
rather later then I had hoped. And the next version wont be fore atleast 
two weeks as I will be away on "vacation" the nex week.

Anyways here is a short rundown of what has been fixed:

* NSClient Listener is fixed.
A major bug in the handler made it fail to read incoming datat on 
occation making the check_nt SEGV.

* Multitasking Sockets.
Sockets are now multitasked allowing requests to be handled 
simultaniously. Although the CORE will not multitask requests yet so if 
a query takes more then 5 seconds to execute this might couse problems 
as then a request will be silently closed. But will be added in the next 
version and unless you have *alot* of checks this should not be a problem.

* Added COUNTER support to the NSClientListener (only FILEAGE missing 
now I think ?)
Theoretically you can also use this from NRPE using the checkCounter 
command.
and having arguments like counter=COUNTER_NAME but it is not really 
usable from that viewpoint yet.

* Fixes in the core to the mutex handling that was broken before.

* Added new options for NT4
NT4 Users should add the following to the configuration file. (hopefully 
it will now run under NT4 if not, let me know)
[CheckSystem]
ProcessEnumerationMethod=PSAPI
CounterCPU=\\.\System\% Total Processor Time
