NRPE in AIX5L...?

[Ton Voon]

I used to work for IBM on their RS/6000 hardware, so I have a fond  
spot for AIX. However, I don't have any access to servers to  develop  
on. If someone could grant me internet access to their server, I  
could spend some time on specific problems for the plugins.

Alternatively, please consider running tinderbox builds on your AIX  
server and sending results back: http://tinderbox.altinity.org. This  
will make sure the plugins continue to work on your favourite platform.

(Note, snapshots, and thus builds, aren't working at the moment  
because SF's shell servers are down.)
