[Nagios-devel] FW: Nagios - SunOS

[Herb J.]

Honestly, your best solution may actually be to install a new machine 
that is running an OS new enough to run the latest version of Nagios. 
Keeping old hardware and old OS'es running may be a requirement for 
specific software systems, but there is no technical reason you have to 
run Nagios on the same outdated hardware. If, for whatever reason, you 
are not allowed to install any additional servers in your environment, 
then you are going to be severely limited in what you will be able to do 
in regards to running Nagios.
