NO dependency to nagios package. Installing nagios-3.0.6-3.fc11.i586 creates the nagios group but leaves for example /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ide_smart owned by the root group. That might be dangerous for a SUID, but I don't know if it has security implications.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

nagios-3.0.6-3.fc11.i586
nagios-plugins-all-1.4.13-14.fc11.i586
nagios-plugins-ide_smart-1.4.13-14.fc11.i586
