[Nagiosplug-help] (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

Please send only one message - most of us are subscribed to all the

$USERx$ macros are usually specified in the resource.cfg file.  
resource.cfg is no readable by the cgi scripts - therefore it is safer to 
store sensitive information like full directory paths, snmp community 
strings as $USERx$ macros in resource.cfg.
