It can be done with Nagios (which is just a scheduler), but not by using
check_nt. It can be done using check_nt to connect to an NCNet instance
(or perhaps NCNet can be compiled using Mono or some such, in which case
you should be able to tweak it enough to make it usable from command-line
on any unixy system where you can install mono).

In this case "check_nt" is the hammer. Nagios is just the carpenter, and
it can use hammers, cars, TV's, screwdrivers, beer and carpet slippers
just fine ;-)

I should look into NCNet. If it's written in C#, it might be usable with
mono and then we could get a Linux binary running checks directly against
windows hosts, with actual credentials being used for authentication.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
