problem and any solution/patch.
-Q: I'm using Redhat Linux (or some other RPM-based distribution).
- Which packages should I install?
-
-A: The package monitoring-plugins-<version>.<arch>.rpm contains only
- those plugins that should work on any POSIX compliant system. In
- other words, you should be able to install this package on your
- system, no matter what else is or in not installed.
-
- However, most of us have more complex systems than barebones
- POSIX. We tried creating a variety of separate packages so
- each dependency could be installed cleanly, but many people
- found that this resulted in too many packages. So in the end,
- all the non-POSIX plugins were folded into one RPM
- (monitoring-plugins-<version>.<arch>.rpm). Most people will need to
- use RPM's '--nodeps' option to install this package.
-
-
-Q: My system uses the .deb package format. What packages should I
- install?
-
-A: We strive for cooperation between all packagers and developers.
- The answers for .deb are the same as for RPM, after changing the
- package name suffixes accordingly.
-
-
-Q: I prefer to build my own RPMs. Do I need to install all of the
- various dependencies?
-
-A: Beginning with the 1.2.9-1 release, you may run
-
- rpm --define 'custom 1' -ta monitoring-plugins-<release>.tar.gz
-
- In prior releases, you must unpack the tarball and build the
- RPM using monitoring-custom.spec with 'rpm -ba'.

Q: I get an error like
Warning: Return code of 127 for check of service 'PING' on host 'anyhost' was out of bounds.
