Mandriva Nagios package

The default configuration that used to come with this package now lives in the
nagios-conf package. You can easily adapt the nagios-conf package to suit your
specific taste. You may want to adjust the cgi.cfg, nagios.cfg and resource.cfg
configuration files found in the /etc/nagios directory.

The old nagios-plugins package used to come with all plugins in one single
package has been broken out into multiple sub packages. As of today Jan 14 2008

This break-out has been done to reduce the overall dependencies requirements, 
so if you don't need any of the check_mysql_* plugins you won't have to install
the mysql libraries, and so on.

Each of these packages comes with its own configuration file that contains the
needed command definition(s), let's give an example:

$ cat /etc/nagios/plugins.d/check_arping.cfg
# this plugin require suid bit. chmod 4550 /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/check_arping.pl

# 'check_arping' command definition
define command{
	command_name    check_arping
	command_line    /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/contrib/check_arping.pl -I $ -H $
	}


So when you start the nagios daemon it will automatically load configuration
files found in the /etc/nagios/plugins.d and /etc/nagios/conf.d directories.
