Check_nt.c is an uncompiled program and is not executable and therefore
will not work. I am assuming that you downloaded the nsclient program
from TSMG Software. They provide a linux binary in the zip file
(/LinuxBin/check_nt) and the .c file you found along with a readme on
what to do what that. If you opt for their precompiled version, copy it
to ~nagios/libexec and try again.

system
