+ <longdescription lang="en">
+ 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.

+ <flag name="crypt">
+ Build support for crypted communication with nsca, through
+ <pkg>dev-libs/mcrypt</pkg>. It's recommended not to disable this
+ flag unless all the communication will be handled in an
+ absolutely safe environment.
+ </flag>
+ <flag name="minimal">
+ Only build and install the send_nsca command and not the
+ daemon. This allows a very minimal install with no overhead when
+ setting up a node.
