Package: nsca
Version: 2.4-3
Severity: normal

What the subject says. This is problem for uses in, for example, cron.
One might well use '/usr/sbin/send_nsca -H hostip > /dev/null', under
the reasonable assumption that no news is good news. However, since
send_nsca writes error messages to the wrong stream, it can fail with no
notice via email from cron.

Writing errors to stderr is established Unix/POSIX practice.

thanks,
Steve
