After building the RPM, I have installed it on 3 different RH9 servers.
I have no indication that the paths compiled into the plugins are wrong.
Nor have I heard any reports to that effect. Either you know something I
don't, or I am not undertsanding you.

Since this bears upon creating uasble RPMs in the future, could you
elaborate?

Perhap you nean that the config file in nagios may not point to the same
file path as the plugins? If so, editing the config file (which is part
of nagios in the default install anyway) might be easier than
rebuilding.
