[Nagiosplug-help] Repository of RHEL nagios* RPMs offline?

[Robert Cole]

Or the other thing you do is compile them right on the RHEL 5 box which 
is what I've taken to do because I've had issues on and off using Fedora 
RPM's.

I have a number of RHEL 5 boxes and I install nrpe-2.8.1.tgz and 
nagios-plugins-1.4.9 on all of them. As a prereq on the RHEL boxes you 
ned to do a

yum install gcc openssl-devel xinetd

on them first then its quick and painless to compile the plugins and 
nrpe following the instructions in the gzip files.
