check_disk on Solaris 8 and 9

[Aaron Carr]

-V on the plugin says the version is check_disk (nagios-plugins 1.3.1)
1.7.2.4 <http://1.7.2.4>

I'm just doing check_disk -w 20 -c 10

I want all filesystems checked, so I'm not specifying. If I run it locally
and try specifying either a mount point or a device, same thing happens.
