Thanks. You should do more promotion so that it becomes the "default"  
version, rather than the 2.0 one.

However, am I right in saying that the CVS repository for NRPE 2.2 is  
on your own servers? If so, I don't think this is in the spirit of  
openess. Can I suggest that you use Sourceforge to host the NRPE  
code? This way the changes made are clear to the community.

In fact, I notice there is a NRPE project on SF: http:// 
sourceforge.net/projects/nrpe. Looks like it was setup by Ethan and  
includes yourself as a developer. Maybe this is the best place to  
house the main code.

Initial configure on Irix and Tru64 fails. I'll look into it and get  
back to you.
