      It's been a month and no responses, so I've upped this to $100. If someone is at all interested, please let me know even if the money isn't enough. If you want to do it but need more, please tell me and I will see what I can do. Thanks!

        Based on feedback in another thread, I've changed the bounty. I'm offering $75 USD per hour, but would like a reasonable estimate before any work starts. If there isn't enough information to create an estimate please let me know, and I will do whatever I can to provide it.

          Bounty is completed in terms of solving all critical issues and making nrpe deamon work in SSL mode. We need somebody to implement patches into pfSense packages repository. Thanks.

            Eugene has done a great job with the changes, which I tested by loading the package from his repo. All we need now is for a developer to put the changes into the official repository.

                Yes, I've requested merge here https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense-packages/repos/Eugene-clone
                Plus I had to recompile nrpe-2.12_1.tbz to support SSL.

                  If one of the other maintainers can't get to this I can commit it later this evening after I finish up another project.

                  I can also upload that binary to files.pfsense.org where it needs to go, just get me a URL to download your copy of nrpe-2.12_1.tbz.

                    Eugene, thanks for the work.

                    I hadn't been watching the forums, thats my bad.

                    I had just recently been notified about the config save issue and was working on that.

                    I'll review your changes and merge providing I don't find any inconsistencies.

                    Thanks for the hard work!

                    -Erik

                          Sorry I guess I should have posted my email in my post … oh well.

                          Jim grabbed them and pushed them up to the server.

                          I merged your changes after testing into mainline. Thanks for the fixes.

                                This is excellent news! From my test machine, all seems to be working properly. I'm still having a problem with a machine that had the older NRPE package installed though. The package manager doesn't see this as a new version of the package, so even if I reinstall the package, or uninstall and reinstall it, it doesn't seem to be updating anything to the new versions. Is there some way I can manually rip out the package so that when I install it again it will download everything fresh? Or better yet, will simply changing the version number in the repo allow anyone with an existing NRPE installation to "upgrade" to this new version?

                                  I do not think 'version' trick will work.
                                  All you need to do is:

                                  1. Uninstall package via WEB-interface System->Packages->Installed Packages.
                                  2. From console
                                  pkg_delete nrpe-2.12_1
                                  pkg_delete
                                  
                                  1. Install nrpe via WEB-interface.

                                  CAUTION:config file will be gone.

                                    That worked perfectly. I consider the bounty completed for my purposes. Since extra steps are needed to replace the package, I think those steps should be posted somewhere, maybe in the packages subforum? You can contact me via e-mail for payment arrangements; just send me your PayPal e-mail address unless you would like to make other arrangements. Thanks again; great work.

                                      Eugene - let me know as soon as you get paid and I'll send this to the completed bounties section.  Great job for everyone involved! Thanks for showing that the bounty process still does work.
