"...Note that the plugin *must* best installed suid root in order to
run, as it binds to a privileged port (UDP 67) in order to listen to
DHCPOFFER packets. "
I understand why it shouldn't be setuid root out-of-the-box, but the
user should be warned that check_dhcp won't work unless it's setuid
root. I didn't find mention of this in /usr/share/doc/nagios-plugins/*
either.
Do any other plugins require setuid root to work?

Description:
nagios-plugins - Plugins for the nagios network monitoring and management system
nagios-plugins-basic - Plugins for the nagios network monitoring and management system
nagios-plugins-standard - Plugins for the nagios network monitoring and management system
Closes: 289879 310780 336639
Changes:
nagios-plugins (1.4.2-5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Sean Finney
- add documentation to README.Debian about the plugins needing setuid
root, why we don't install them setuid root by default, and some
recommended methods for dealing with this (closes: #289879).
- add documentation to README.Debian about the new package split.
- config.h_debiandefaults.dpatch now modifies common.h instead of
config.h.in, because the latter would sometimes cause build hosts
to spontaneously regenerate the file, overwriting our changes.
since all the plugins include common.h too... (closes: #336639).
- include some patches from "F.A.G. Luteijn" <f.a.g.luteijn at knoware.nl>:
* dhcp.cfg (with notes added by me about needing setuid)
* disk.cfg (check_all_disks)
* disk-smb.cfg (seperated check_disk_smb commands)
* http.cfg (check_https_auth)
* check_disk_smb: allow checking disk usage via host addresses.
(closes: #310780).
