Just a question bevore i explain everything.. Is the plugin 64bit compatible?
nc_net is not a plugin, it is a nagios client, for Windows
you want to use NRPE
In the installation of Nc_Net is the plugin check_nc_net included
Ohh, in the files section on sourceforge there is a separate download, check the folder "check_nc_net.c " in the files list. The latest version is in a .rar file instead of a .zip file though.
Personally I compile the nagios-plugins package from source and just replace check_nt.c with check_nc_net.c before compiling but there's probably a simpler way to just compile check_nc_net only.
The current build of NC_NEt is 64 bit compatible.
It is NOT optimized for either 64bit or 32bit
As for check_nc_net.c, As Jeremy pointed out,
the easiest way to install it is:
download and compile the official Nagios plugins.
Then replace check_nt.c with check_nc_net.c
I usually make a backup of check_nt.c and then use mv
then run MAKE and it will detect the changes in check_nt.c and recompile.
Check_nc_net.c is forked from check_nt.c but it includes some extra fixes, as well as,
ability to remotly administer nc_net (except for the startup.cfg and ip restriction list)
the help system has been enhanced, and it is fully compatble with all systems that talk through check_nt.
NC_net also contains NSCA instead of NRPE

Thank you for your answer!
I made the steps you mentioned:
Downloaded the nagios plugins and extracted them.
Changed into the folder and ran ./configure -with-nagios-user=nagios -with-nagios-group=nagios
Make
Copied the check_nc_net.c.new to nagios-plugins-1.4.11/plugins/check_nt.c
Make
The original check_nt file has the same size as the check_nt of the check_nc_net after make.
This is not correct or am i wrong?
Trying it with a make clean between results in this errors:

I get the same error on a Ubuntu Server 10.10 x64.
Can anyone help?
