What are the reasons to use NRPE?

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

Hi all

I just wonder what the reasons are to use NRPE in favour of checks  
over ssh with ssh keys. To me, NRPE seems just one more piece of  
software that may potentioally be broken and more hassle with  
firewalls. Why do people still use it when ssh checks are just as  
simple and (in my opinion) far more secure?

Best regards
