Problems Running NRPE Client on an HP-UX works tation

[Jason Marshall]

Even that's overkill.  All you need is the stuff to make NRPE go, and the
plugins that NRPE uses.  That's all you _really_ need.  

I personally copy a few other things over, but I don't think you'll need
to (all the config files, mainly, and everything in ~nagios/bin, where I
have some utilities).
