-NRPE is an addon for Nagios that allows you to execute "local" plugins
-(like check_disk, check_procs, etc.) on remote hosts. The check_nrpe
-plugin is called from Nagios and makes plugin execution requests to
-the NRPE daemon running on the remote host (either as a standalone
-daemon or as a service under inetd). Supports passing command
-arguments to server, as well as native SSL/TLS encryption (anonymous
-DH mode).
+NPRE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) is a system daemon that will
+execute various Nagios plugins locally on behalf of a remote
+(monitoring) host that uses the check_nrpe plugin.
