fwiw, in centos (6, at least.  it could have changed in 7, but I
wouldn't expect that), the path is "/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins".  I'd
guess, given the /usr/local portion of the path means that Jay is using
src distribution (e.g. downloading the .tar.gz from nagios directly). 
so he's probably missing the plugins file.   oddly, I can't seem to
locate it at all right now :/   even the OSE version of nagios is
eluding me.
