The patch looks good, and makes more sense to me now. Out of  
interest, are there any udp services that would give a response on a  
connect without the client sending some data?

I've written some tests which check the incoming parameters and uses  
nc to setup a test to read the sending data. I can't find a way to  
test the expected data, so any ideas appreciated. Tests should pass  
on for this plugin now, which keeps me happy.

I'm trying to commit my changes but SF cvs seems to be out at the  
moment.

I'm keen on dropping it, but I've also just realised that there is a  
check_udp2 which links to check_tcp. Should we be cautious or or drop  
check_udp.c, deleting check_udp2 and putting a suitable statement  
in ./CHANGES?
