Gentoo Port for the nagios-plugins package modified for vservers

Currently the nagios-plugins package and thus Nagios cannot be installed in a Gentoo vserver via portage. This is because of a hardcoded IP address (127.0.0.1) in the configure script and some source files. Inside a vservers the IP 127.0.0.1 is not available. To make it work in a vserver environment configure.in and check_dns.c have to be patched. The other source files which contain this IP address are not affected (they pass the IP to system calls). Therefor I created a modified port for Gentoo which includes a patch that modifies both files and a modified ebuild. With this port you can install Nagios in a Gentoo vserver.
