[csw-users] nagios - nagiosp - nrpe update

With a recent update to the nagiosp package, nrpe is now a separate
package.  However, the check_nrpe plugin is still distributed with the
nagios server package.

After you update nagiosp to version 1.4.2,REV=2006.02.09, and if you use
nrpe, please install nrpe with pkg-get.  Also included with the nrpe
package are files and instructions for adding nrpe to SMF on Solaris 10
and later.  This is only useful if you run nrpe as a daemon.  So, if
you want to use SMF, you need to do the few steps of installation
manually, as outlined in README-SMF.CSW.

nagios is updated to version 2.0.  The most recent package version is
2.0,REV=2006.02.09.  This is a big (and good) update and you may have
to change your configuration files.  See the 'what's new' section of
the html documentation for a list of the changes.  I think that I also
changed my email notification macros to use $SHORTDATETIME$ instead of
$DATETIME$.  But I am not sure of when I did this; since I have been
running beta versions of 2.0 for a few months now.

The older nrpe package version 1.3 is not compatible with nagios 2.0,
so remember to install nrpe if you need it.
