I'm not sure I understand you: you **have** posted a question in Server Fault, so your ability to do so ought not to be in question. — MadHatter, Jul 02 '14 at 10:42
Sorry, no; I'm very much a CentOS/RedHat man. Hopefully someone who knows the ins and outs of NAGIOS on ubuntu will be along shortly. — MadHatter, Jul 02 '14 at 10:49

At least on Debian (may be the same for Ubuntu) you need the nagios-nrpe-plugin package. Install that, too.
