I downloaded the package here: https://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins/Operating-Systems/AIX/AIX-5-3-NRPE-2-12-NSCA-2-7-2-Nagios-Plugins-1-4-11  and followed instructions here http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Nagios_NRPE_on_AIX  to install NRPE on the AIX system.  I then found an item in the nagios-users archive that suggested that I needed to install sudo on the AIX system and change the NRPE config to use sudo for the commands.  http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg31668.html
