Nagios upgrade to 2.6 bumps using RPMs

[Hugo van der Kooij]

Hi,

Just some notes before anyones picks up the nagios 2.6 RPM from DAG. Make 
sure to backup the config directory (as always).


Just got the upgrade. But I lost some files in the upgrade and had to
restore them from backup.

In /etc/nagios the files checkcommands.cfg and misccommands.cfg are 
deleted and replaced by an incompatible file called command-plugins.cfg 
which is not even in the proper format for Nagios:

#Note: Use the convertcfg program in the contrib directory of the Nagios
#   distribution to convert this file into a object file format.

for misccommands.cfg there also was a *.rpmsave version but the other one
was just gone.


There is also a bug in 1 of the nagios-plugins for which the following 
tiny diff file is the answer:

  use utils qw(%ERRORS);

  # die with an error if we're not on Linux


This is also reported to the packager.
