Amazing to me that in all the months I've been lurking in this list there 
was no mention of this tidbit until 2/9/06.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.user/37418
Didn't recall that post when I was replying.

Also amazing that this is not mentioned on the nagios.org download page.

But the plugins are not included in Extras so if you want to install them 
via RPM you search pbone.net and find the Dries RPM repository and luckily 
he has a FC4 RPM posted there for plugins-1.4.1, not the latest but 
usable.

Related question - why does rpmfind.net and pbone.not NOT include the 
Extras repository?

I guess what I'm thinking is that we need a wiki so we can all contribute 
what we've learned and organize it in a way that's helpful to new and 
longtime users alike.

Yes it is - only suggested as a temporary workaround to install a package 
when you can't find the package in a repo for the release you're running. 
Definitely not recommended to leave it set that way.

Thanks,
Toby
