NRPE-2.12 on VMWare ESX Server 3.5

[Lorand S. D'Caltan]

At this point it's much more about the unending chain of dependencies that I'm running into trying to use RPMs

rpm -ivh nagios-nrpe-2.12-2.i586.rpm
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
error: Failed dependencies:
        libwrap-libs is needed by nagios-nrpe-2.12-2

rpm-5.0-0.2.0.el5.rf.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1aa78495

        librpmio-5.0.so(LIBRPMIO_0) is needed by rpm-5.0-0.2.0.el5.rf
        libselinux.so.1 is needed by rpm-5.0-0.2.0.el5.rf
        libssl.so.6 is needed by rpm-5.0-0.2.0.el5.rf
        rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by rpm-5.0-0.2.0.el5.rf

You see it gets a little bit irritating after a while. I'd really love to just be able to compile the NRPE from source, but then we're back at the original error which I was trying to correct.
