I will probably instal NSCA in freebsd at client site if it get approval, or like you said, I will have to install it in Solaris.

Thanks

SW,
You can use the NSCA encryption options. They are a bit slower than 
unencrypted, but they work well.
On the sending side, match the encryption method in send_nsca.cfg to 
that specified in the nsca.cfg on the receiving (Nagios) server side.
The tricky part is compiling nsca and send_nsca with Libmcrypt. That can 
be a pain, especially on Solaris.

All this is documented in the NSCA docs.
