We treat centralizer near-rings over ring modules in general, with particular emphasis on the case of free modules. Questions like the following are answered. When is the near-ring a nonring? When is the near-ring simple? What are its maximal and minimal left ideals? What is its subgroup structure? What is the radical? The cases where the ring concerned is a PID or a field are treated in some detail.
