How to setup Active Check Security ?

Hi, I'm evaluating the use of nc_net in conjunction with GroundWork Community Edition 6.0 for both Active and Passive checks.
So far, I love the passive capabilities (although I am having difficulties configuring GW with anything other than XOR for encryption - but I will look into that with GW)….
My question or ignorance with nc_net is:
How do I setup encryption or even a password on the nc_net 5,0 client ? There is no encryption or password section within startup.cfg (even though it is referenced in the readme.html).
I'm not as concerned about the password as I am about encryption - any tips or help is appreciated.
Keep up the great work!
Sorry for the delay,
I usually get email notification of posts.
The Readme.html is the oldest document and has not been maintained since v2.XX the Startup.cfg has the most recent Documentation, as well as the Check_nc_net internal Help system
check_nc_net -help
NC_Net currently only has XOR in its intenal NSCA implimentation.
HOWEVER, IT does allow for Setting up External NSCA where you can install WIN32_NSCA client. the External NSCA uses its own config file, and also has options for encryption.
For setting the Internal NSCA password It is in the Starup config, look for:
Pass_passive
I had thought this was the case but wanted to be certain - Thanks very much for the reply!
