File README.SuSE of Package nagios-nrpe
README.SuSE for nagios-nrpe =========================== The packages - nagios-nrpe-client - nagios-nrpe-server are marked as obsolete: While seeing the client/server pkg normal user would be misled to install which package where. When seeing "server" package you're thinking about a server-daemon and when seeing "client" you're thinking client which is talking with the server (NRPE). But it was just the other way round. :( Now: - nagios-nrpe (obsoletes nagios-nrpe-client) and provides the NRPE daemon which should be installed on the remote box which should be monitored. - nagios-plugins-nrpe (obsoletes nagios-nrpe-server) and provides "check_nrpe" which should be installed on the server hosting nagios. - nagios-nrpe-doc contains documentation and can be installed where ever you want Have a lot of fun!
