AD Checks

[Jeremy Russell]

They came with the Nagios-plugins 1.3.0 package, but as far as I know they were in all of the realease of Nagios-pligins.

You have to have the ldap libaries (http://www.openldap.org) installed for the check_ldap plugin.  

Check_nt uses the NSClient (http://nsclient.ready2run.nl/) to get stats, but should compile and install without any requirements.

Where did you get the check_nt & check_ldap tools? they weren't
installed with nagios like the other check commands were, so I assume
they were part of an add-on.
