A question regarding nagios-statd-{client, server} and NRPE

[Ryan Steele]

Just as a small preamble, I'm running Debian.

I've recently acquired some new machines, and I'm upgrading them all to 
Nagios2.5.  I've noticed that in the old Nagios configs, there are 
references to commands that call /usr/bin/nagios-stat (for example, 
check_disk_statd:  /usr/bin/nagios-stat -d $ARG1$ disk $HOSTADDRESS$).  
 From what I've been able to ascertain, this binary utility shipped with 
nagios-statd-client.  However, nagios-statd-client depends on the 
"nagios" package.  Since I have nagios2 installed and not nagios, I 
cannot install nagios-statd-client as the dependencies aren't met.

I did, however, see that there is a plugin called NRPE, which doesn't 
depend on nagios2...and I'm thinking this might be what I need.  So, I 
guess my question is, "What package(s) is/are meant to replace 
nagios-statd-client for nagios2?"

I'm doing my best to seamlessly transition, but I need the check 
commands that rely on the binaries that seem to be associated with 
nagios-statd-client.  Any advice/suggestions?  Thanks alot in advance,

Best Regards,
Ryan
