Almost, it's Redhat Enterprise 4.

Thanks for the hint, I'm using the 1.3 version of check_ping, which also
works.
But it's a little sad, the most import plugin does not work.

Hmm, no.

[root at jupiter ~]# export LC_ALL=C
[root at jupiter ~]# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -help
check_load (nagios-plugins 1.4) 1.27

This plugin tests the current system load average.

Usage: check_load -w WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15 -c CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15

Options:
  -h, --help
     Print detailed help screen
  -V, --version
     Print version information
  -w, --warning=WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15
    Exit with WARNING status if load average exceeds WLOADn
  -c, --critical=CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15
    Exit with CRITICAL status if load average exceed CLOADn

the load average format is the same used by "uptime" and "w"
