Plugin Directory

[Toto Capuccino]

The plugins are located in the libexec directory but they need to be defined
to be used in nagios and it is done in the checkcommands.cfg file and also
in the miscommands.cfg file. As you said those file are refernced in
nagios.cfg.
So you should copy the source template checkcommands.cfg and
miscommands.cfgfile to nagios/etc/
