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!
