I never used SF in an active manner before. But I can try. I guess, I
need a SF login. O_o

Now I adjusted ./tools/setup in order to use latest aclocal,automake ...
- aclocal -I m4
+ aclocal18 -I m4
- autoheader
+ autoheader
- automake --add-missing --force-missing --copy
+ automake18 --add-missing --force-missing --copy
- autoconf
+ autoconf259

So I ran ./tools/setup. All went fine.

Configure and Make all also went flawlessly.

------------------------
But now the big problem:
------------------------

check_dhcp does not work anymore.

momocat at copycat:[plugins] >./check_dhcp -V
check_dhcp (nagios-plugins 1.4-beta2) 1.6
momocat at copycat:[plugins] >./check_dhcp -s 193.101.57.34
Error: can't get MAC address for this architecture.

The check_dhcp from the nagiosplugins 1.3 works fine.

momocat at copycat:[nagios] >./check_dhcp -s 193.101.57.34 -i xl0
DHCP ok: Received 1 DHCPOFFER(s), 1 of 1 requested servers responded,
max lease time = 86400 sec.

So..I will have a look. But the older(contrib from nagios-plugins 1.3)
check_dhcp was just fine for me.

Sorry, but I'm a little bit confused now.
