execute a program with NRPE

[tdelunel]

Thank you for your reply,

The NRPE user I configured in the nrpe.cfg file is  "nagios":
nrpe_user=nagios
nrpe_group=nagios

Putty is on the windows 2000 server, and the session is opened by an 
"admin" user.
What I want is to execute putty with this command:
---------
putty.exe -ssh @IP -load "myprofile" -l "mylogin" -pw "mypassword"
---------

How can I configure NRPE for having the same user name than my windows 
session ? What I have to do ?
The windows user name is of that kind:  "MySociety\admin"
