[Nagiosplug-help] TRU64 Plugins binary upload

[Voon, Ton]

Benny,

Thank you for your very reasoned response.

I think we can probably help in the process by having a list of port
maintainers on http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net. I'll look into it.

p.s. HP-UX should compile a lot better in now. Let us know if you have any
problems.

Ton
