Actually packaging each plugin individually is an interesting idea.  It might
encourage others to get their own plugins into Fedora Extras (and there is a
pretty active community of plugin writers at present).

I chose /var/lib/nagios for the scripts because some of them are arch specific
(check_mysql: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5)

As far as the Nagios user goes, I'm curious as to what others think best
practice is for this.  For plugins I thought it best to leave it up to the
administrator to choose who to run the plugin as.  But it may be best practice
to give them a Nagios user by default and let them change it if they see fit. 
If we do add a Nagios user, he will need a shell for check_by_ssh.

sorry about the RPM_BUILD_ROOT (I always forget to change it from the Fedora
template...  I'll fix it for release 3)

I also found out today that Net::SNMP and perl-net-snmp are not the same thing:

On second look I think command.cfg is legacy and can (and will) be safely removed.

Oreon is certainly a possibility but I'm just trying to make sure I can get
Nagios and its plugins in first.

Thanks for the feedback.
