      System: Pfsense 2.0-RC1 amd64

      I tried to install nrpe with pkg_add -r nrpe2 and configured this service.
      Then i tried to check some things from my nagios server. I get always Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
      After some testing i found out that the nrpe package in bsd is compiled without ssl.
      I work 99% with Debian Linux and the pfsense is my only bsd System.
      How can i create a package with ssl?

        ok i solved this problem.

        If somebody is interested:

        First setup a virtual maschine of freebsd
        In the NRPE ports dir edit the Make File and enable SSL
        make config recursive
        make package recursive

        put the nrpe package on the pfsense host

        install the depend packages
        and install nrpe
        pkg_add PATH TO PACKAGE
        edit nagios config file and enable nrpe in the startup script

        now nrpe should work with ssl
