[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios plugins

The rpm should install on CentOS 5.
It tells you exactly that it misses some prerequiste package
(most likely the nagios-nrpe-*.rpm).

You can check in advance what an rpm requires by running

# rpm -qpR /path/to/downloads/some.rpm

It is up to you to either meet the prerequisites,
or enforce installation if you know what you are doing.
The latter can be achieved by

# rpm -ihv --nodeps /path/to/downloads/some.rpm


However, I would strongly recommend to first fullfill all
prerequistes.
Sometimes, if you know that you will never execute a certain
check (e.g. check_snmp),
you can safely skip installation of say net-snmp-*.rpm and use
the --nodeps flag.
The same goes for a lot of Perl modules.
Most advanced Perl users prefer installing them via CPAN
interface instead of rpms.
In such a case, where you know that you already have your
site_perl branch in sync,
it is also safe to install with --nodeps.
