new plugin can i send here for peer review?

[jgking at packetstorm.org]

Hey I read over the page at 
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#SUBMITTINGCHANGES

But under 'New submissions and Patches' it doesnt say where to send a new 
plugin for auditing and peer review.

Can I post here? If so ill attach it in a follow-up if the list 
maintainers are ok with it.

Basically I want to create a check_snmp_[prog] branch of plugins. This 
way I can rely on a single mechanism to poll systems with. For example, I 
dont want to have to install nagios on each machine to gain access to disk 
checks etc. Instead Ill use snmp and do it remotely.

I would use just check_snmp but I cant use it to perform calculations and 
in some cases theres no mib for what I want anyhow so I use Net-SNMPs 
extensability to make my own branches (like an oid that calls a perl 
program to parse the named statistic output or sendmail mail queues).

So to start i wanted to keep it simple. I created a check_snmp_iferrors 
plugin based on the check_ifstatus plugin.
 
An extra argument has been added (-w) which is the warn limit based on the 
interface input and output error counts on a given interface.

seeing how my interfaces have no errors and i have no idea how to make 
them act like they would, I tested this setting -w = 0 and got the warn 
message, set it to 5, no warn message. So it looks to me to be working 
right but I am not sure.

So ill post here if its ok.

Also note this is written for for linux so you may have to change the OID 
values in the program to match the tree on your system.
