Need help with nagios/nrpe

I have some Dell PowerEdge Linux servers that I want to monitor with nrpe. I've 
installed nrpe daemon on the servers, and nrpe client on my nagios station, 
which is a simple low-end desktop.

I've configured nrpe enough that nagios at least presents me with a service 
line on the server that the service has returned a response it cannot handle - 
not an error, but more of a null.

I'm trying to get some perl scripts from nagiosexchange to be utilized.  I am 
able to run the scripts fine from the command line and see their details, but 
having problems figuring out how to properly configure nagios to get me the 
results properly.

I've got the OpenManage scripts, along with some basic Dell Hardware ones.

I happen to be using CentOS 5 and RHEL 5, all out-of-box, all items from 
CDs installed, no updates applied.  I did obtain and install the latest 
OpenManage yum packages

Thanks for any insights.

Scott
