I'm not sure what constitutes an unofficial name. If you search for NRPE, an overwhelming majority of hits is on topic. The official documentation http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf (pg. 6) recommends putting nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE into /etc/services. Of course, I don't want to force this. If it's against some policy, just drop it. I usually don't bother introducing conffile conflicts for this port alone, but I'd consider it a nice touch if it was provided by the package. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
