NSCA-ng provides a client-server pair which makes the Nagios command file
accessible to remote systems. This allows for submitting passive check
results, downtimes, and many other commands to Nagios or compatible
monitoring solutions. The submitted data is queued by the NSCA-ng
server if Nagios goes down. Multiple check results or commands can be
submitted in one go, and multiline plugin output is fully supported.
NSCA-ng uses TLS encryption and shared-secret authentication with
per-client passwords, as well as fine-grained authorization control.
This package contains the NSCA-ng server, which is written in C and
uses an event-driven architecture. Disk I/O is avoided unless the data
cannot be submitted in one go due to its size (on Linux, the threshold
is 4kB). In this case, the data is handed over to Nagios via
asynchronously written files.
NSCA clients cannot talk to NSCA-ng servers (nor vice versa), but NSCA
and NSCA-ng servers can happily run side by side.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Also, you can't set SSL_DEFAULT, and don't give bad advices to people,
it should never be set directly, but always through DEFAULT_VERSIONS.

net-mgmt/nsca-ng(-client): IGNORE FreeBSD 9 base openSSL
I think the original makefile was starting that the FreeBSD 9 base OpenSSL
isn't good enough. My previous commit lost that information, so put the
equivalent check back again.
net-mgmt/nsca-ng(-client): Configure any SSL base, IGNORE LibreSSL
These ports currently utilize PSK which is not supported by LibreSSL, so
detect that SSL_DEFAULT and set IGNORE accordingly. The obsolete
USE_OPENSSL_PORT logic was also removed.
Approved by: SSL blanket
Add net-mgmt/nsca-ng and net-mgmt/nsca-ng-client, client-server pair which
makes the Nagios command file accessible to remote systems.
