NRPE packet buffer limitations

[Mike Emigh]

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone had found the proper way to modify nrpe to receive
more than the 1024 character limit imposed in MAX_PACKETBUFFER_LENGTH.  I
adjusted it from 1024 to 1536 and have used this setting for quite some time
now and it works; however, graceful connection shutdowns are not possible
when using this modification.

It appears that nrpe tries to send all data in just a single packet.  Is
there a reason that multiple packets aren't used if the packet buffer isn't
large enough to accommodate all of the plugin output?  I could see this
being especially troublesome for Nagios 3.0 as the buffer will be too small
to fully take advantage of multiline output.

Regards,
Mike
