Fwd: difference between nrpe-nt and nsclient?

[Cam]

sorry... i'm still trying to get used to gmail replying to the
individual instead of the list by default (i guess i'm too used to
mutt), i'm forwarding this for the sake of keeping things on-list
(sorry if this breaks threads)

thanks everyone who responded,
cam

Great, this sounds like just the thing i am looking for (from the
quick research i did it looks like nsclient will handle my needs for
the windows boxen).  Anyway, one more question... because of firewall
issues i kind of need to run this through a reverse-ssh tunnel (or
something like that... basically the windows box is behind a firewall
that i would rather not mess w/).  Are there any obvious difficulties
in doing it this way?

Thanks,
Cam
