Nagios Support Forum

Ok folks. I have a fix:

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/ncpa/issues/156

Thank you!

I would like to contribute to the NagiosEnterprises/NCPA github project. I've scoured the github site and I cannot find any build instructions.

I am familiar with python development. I have read the README.rst file.

Thank you! I have. Several times before coming to this site. I was verifying user and groups, which...

I believe so. I did this exercise with CentOS. The config comes stock, which points to the /usr/local/ncpa/plugins directory.
