Port Hat wearers,

I am in the process of setting consistent [UG]ID's for the nagios  
related ports (being reminded by Peter that is) and it has been  
pointed out that NRPE2 (net-mgmt/nrpe2) is now maintainer'less.   
Being the maintainer of both nagios and nagios-plugins, I would be  
more than happy to take on maintainer'ship of this port and mold it  
into a seamless extension of the Nagios suite.  If your happy with  
the idea, the email address used here or on the ports is fine.

Cheers.

Jarrod.
