Right Mike, this is what exactly I want. More details are I have LVS server in Linux, installed with Nagios. I have 5 spam servers and 5 IMAP and POP servers, from which 2 spam servers are FreeBSD 5.4. I have been monitoring them through Linux nagios, and running nrpe on clients. But now for FreeBSD, I hope for SMTP check or MailQ I dont need any installation of nagios client(plugin) right ? If I want to monitor load, disk space, http etc service I have install entire nagios package or nagios-statsd, or plugins ? Thanx for any info.

I know this has already been addresses by others but i have another answer :) If im reding you right you have a linux box setup with nagios and you want to monitor services on a remote freebsd box ? SMTP wont be an issue, that can be monitored with check_smtp as someone has already suggested, local stats like disk usage can be monitored a number of ways, personaly i've found nrpe (nagios remote plugin executor), nrpe basicly allows you to execute nagios check plugins over a network/the internet, it's in ports (2 versions depending on which version of nagios you have installed) and it'll install the nagios-plugins package as a dependancy, once it's installed you can configure the commands nrpe will answer and these commands in turn call a nagios plugin.
