the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.

This Nagios addon is designed to provide a way for executing plugins on
a remote host. The check_nrpe plugin runs on the Nagios host and is used
to send plugin execution requests to the nrpe agent on the remote
host. The nrpe agent will then run an appropriate plugins on the
remote host and return the plugin output and return code to the
check_nrpe plugin on the Nagios host.
