why NRPE can't run whit root user ?

[Bill Corcoran]

if you can only run the plugin with root priv, consider running it 
setuid root.  i'm not sure if nagios has some sort of protection against 
this, but it is probably what i would try.  running apache suexec may 
give you some problems too, but again, worth a shot.

as root, do a chown root on the file, then chmod 4755 or 6755.  consult 
the man pages on chmod for more info.  then, when anyone executes the 
plugin, the plugin will run as root.
