Nagios Plugin Requirements
--------------------------

Some plugins require that you have additional programs and/or
libraries installed on your system before they can be used.  Plugins
that are dependent on other programs/libraries that are missing are
usually not compiled.  Requirements for various plugins are listed
below...

check_fping:
	- Requires the fping utility distributed with SATAN.  Either
	  download and install SATAN or grab the fping program from
	  http://www.fping.com

		ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.src.rpm 
		ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/RPMS/fping-2.2b1-1.i386.rpm 
	  Note that the fping command must be setuid root to function.

check_game:
