Nagios-plugins on Solaris 10 with Sun Studio 12

[Richard Quintin]

For what it's worth here's what we do for our Solaris SPARC boxes:

Plugins
./configure --prefix=/apps/username --without-apt --without-mysql
--without-smbclient --without-world-permissions
--with-perl=/usr/bin/perl

NRPE
 ./configure --prefix=/apps/username --enable-command-args
--disable-ssl --with-nrpe-user=someuser --with-nrpe-group=somegroup
--with-nrpe-port=11111 --with-nagios-user=someuser
--with-nagios-group=somegroup

For NRPE we also apply this patch src/nrpe.c
