Yeah, I forgot about that. There are a few dependencies for using the
RPM. If you're not against installing them, then you can add Dag's repo
to your RHEL configuration long enough to install, and then remove it.

Install Dag's package key:

rpm -import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Add to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

#Uncomment dag's repo to install/update packages
yum dag http://dag.atrpms.net/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag

Remember to comment the yum line back out after you are done installing
things, as to not screw up the RPM database by accident at a later date.

This isn't supported by Red Hat, so if this is a production machine,
please be aware of that. I've done this before, however, on two
production machines and not had a problem, but that doesn't mean
something won't break.

Now, do your normal up2date to install things.

up2date --install nagios-plugins

I don't remember if it takes care of dependencies or not, but if it
doesn't, you can install perl-Net-SNMP the same:

up2date --install perl-Net-SNMP

This will also make it easier to upgrade the package in the future, just
remember to comment the yum dag line out when you are finished
installing or upgrading packages from his repo.

Regards,
Max
