| Hi Jim,
|
| I am not sure how nagios wants me to fix this. The directory contains
| binary stuff so it is normal that it goes into /usr/lib64 on 64-bit
| systems.
|
| Your fix is a valid one, but not something I would do in the package. You
| could also install the 32bit nagios package on 64bit. Although I am not
| sure if everything exist in 32bit (and if that is a good idea altogether).
|
| Maybe we have to bring this up on the Nagios forums ?

Isn't this exactly why there is a variable dedicated to the path of the
plugins?

# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins
