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
	  http://www.stanford.edu/~schemers/docs/fping/fping.html
		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:
	- Requires the qstat utility available from
	  http://www.qstat.org

	  Last tested on qstat 2.3d BETA

check_hpjd:

OS Specific Issues
------------------

HP-UX 11.11
You need to use the version of gcc provided by HP at version 3.3.3. 
Also, you need GNU make 3.8

Mandrake 10.0
If you have procps 3.1.15, you will need to run configure and then change 
the PS_COMMAND in config.h to remove the "-" from the ps command
