Yes, I've added those two paths to the list.  So we now have:

- /usr/local/etc/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.ini
- /usr/local/etc/monitoring-plugins.ini
- /etc/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.ini
- /etc/monitoring-plugins.ini

(Plus the old locations supported for compatibility.)

Fine with me, too.

Thanks, Holger
