If I'm understanding this right the "--shared-secret" switch is the "answer" file for /opt/smokeping/etc/secrets.conf file on the master server.  Is that correct?  Locally, I have secrets.txt with the "answer" that is on the master server.

SECRET.TXT
--shared-secret=/opt/smokeping/secret.txt for laxvpn001

<password1>

SECRETS.CONF
/opt/smokeping/etc/secrets.conf

host1:<password1>
host2:<password1>
nycvpn001:<password1>
laxvpn001:<password1>

<password1> is the same all around.
