You need the check_nrpe plugin on the server doing the monitoring, and the
nagios plugins you plan on using, on the client being monitored, as well as
the nrpe server.

Another way (which is what we do) is use check_by_ssh instead of check_nrpe,
took a bit more setup, but works better for us at least.
