Problems Running NRPE Client on an HP-UX works tation

The only question is, everything that would be copied over was compiled on a
Red Hat Linux 7.3 x86 box.
The environment the files are going to is an HP-UX 10.20 box running on a
non-x86 chip. Would that present
problems?

Even that's overkill.  All you need is the stuff to make NRPE go, and the
plugins that NRPE uses.  That's all you _really_ need.  

I personally copy a few other things over, but I don't think you'll need
to (all the config files, mainly, and everything in ~nagios/bin, where I
have some utilities).
