Port Hat wearers,
I am in the process of setting consistent [UG]ID's for the nagios
related ports (being reminded by Peter that is) and it has been
pointed out that NRPE2 (net-mgmt/nrpe2) is now maintainer'less.
Being the maintainer of both nagios and nagios-plugins, I would be
more than happy to take on maintainer'ship of this port and mold it
into a seamless extension of the Nagios suite. If your happy with
the idea, the email address used here or on the ports is fine.
Cheers.
Jarrod.
