+ This program is designed to accept passive service check results from
+ clients that use the send_nsca utility (which is included in this
+ package) and pass them along to the Nagios process by using the external
+ command interface. The program can either be run as a standalone daemon
+ or as a service under inetd. If you have libmcrypt installed on your
+ systems, you can choose from multiple crypto algorithms (DES, 3DES,
+ CAST, xTEA, Twofish, LOKI97, RJINDAEL, SERPENT, GOST, SAFER/SAFER+,
+ etc.) for encrypting the traffic between the client and the server.
+ Encryption is important in this addon, as it prevents unauthorized users
+ from sending bogus check results to Nagios. Read the included SECURITY
+ document for more information.
+
+ This package provides the send_nsca utility running on the client.
