In the NREP 2.0 documentation, file SECURITY, he say :
USER/GROUP RESTRICTIONS
-----------------------

The NRPE daemon cannot be run with (effective) root user/group
privileges.  You must run the daemon with an account that does
not have superuser rights.  Use the nrpe_user and nrpe_group
directives in the config file to specify which user/group the
daemon should run as.

I want not modify the source of NRPE, but i want exec a pluging with
root rights.
How i can make this?

Thanks
