Hello Andrew,

Excellent :) Usually a public forum is better, where everybody can
participate and share their insight.

Thanks for the patch, applied. However, there are some changes to the
spec file lately. Among them is an added Requires to the nagios-plugins
package, which owns the /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins directory.
Hopefully SUSE does the same in this respect. The updated spec file is
available here:

PS. check_openmanage has been added to Fedora and EPEL, but there are
some SELinux issues. Until these are resolved I'll hold off pushing it
to stable, but it is available in testing.

Cheers,
