Package: pnp4nagios-bin

Hi.

Marking as severity important as it might have security implications.

process_perfdata.cfg shouldn't be world-readable.
Event though not used per default in Debian, it contains the "KEY"
option which may be used (in alternative to "KEY_FILE") to hold
the Gearman shared secret.

Cheers,
Chris.

Please note that this affects 0.6 only, 0.4 doesn't support KEYS.

# A shared password which will be used for
# encryption of data pakets. Should be at least 8
# bytes long. Maximum length is 32 characters.
