(Resending as apparently my first attempt didn't make it through.)
First of all, thanks for making this plugin. It works well and is very handy. As requested in the documentation, I am sending this to the nagios-users list rather than directly to the author.
With some minor modifications, the package builds properly on SUSE. There are two main Nagios packaging differences from RedHat:
1) All Nagios plugins are installed to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins, even on 64-bit (there is no /usr/lib64/nagios directory). This may not make the most sense, but it is what is, and being consistent with other Nagios packages is good.
2) Non-binary plugin RPMs (e.g. Perl scripts only) use noarch, while binary plugins use the corresponding arch. For examples of both, browse the build service repo at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_11.1/ . Being a Perl script, check_openmanage falls under the former.
This is easily solved with an %if block to make a universal RPM spec:

I also tested building on CentOS 5 to make sure nothing broke there, and indeed, nothing changed there.
