nrpe issue with solaris 9?

[Hari Sekhon]

Hi Luis,

   The way I see it you have 3 choices:

1. Rewrite the plugin to work the way you want.
2. Give up on using that plugin (but we're not quitters are we?)
3. If you have read and trust the code, grant the nagios user root privs 
when running it using sudo and change your nagios command to call it 
through sudo.

I tend to use number 3.

-h
