I vote for this too. check_by_ssh can be an alternative sometimes, but 
sometimes it is not desireable to have the nagios server full ssh access 
to the monitored machine.

Here one could live with a workaround: setup different nrpe services on 
different tcp ports and you can use different configs and access 
controls for each nrpe service.
