Summary: New check_pfstate nagios plugin

Initial Comment:
Here is a check_pfstate plugin for nagios on *OPENBSD*
that I wrote in perl.  It gathers the number of current
state entries (pfctl -s info).

Jason.

I think this plugin might be more attractive if you replaced
the awk and grep with pure Perl pattern matching, splitting
or hashes.

(BTW, pf has been ported to [at least] FreeBSD so your
plugin is likely to get more of a workout).

Jason,  thank you for the plugin and your patience in
waiting so long for an acknowledgement.

Plugin should be in CVS shortly.

Thanks for the submission. New plugins are not a priority at the 
moment, but we are looking into it.

These all use a standard pre-shared ssh key connection 
to connect and gather the relevant info. There will 
need to be a public ssh key for the local nagios user 
in the remote users' ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, in 
addition to a copy of the public host key from the 
remote system in the local nagios user's 
~/.ssh/known_hosts file. Very similar to check_by_ssh 
configuration.
