Basically yeah. but not always with successful results. Although I
don't know what resources it requires.Running it as "you" it may not
be able to read what it needs, depending on how the server was setup.
You may be locked in your /home with very little read access to the
rest of the server. I asume that this is shared hosting, or do you
have a VPS? Dreamhost is a partner/supporter of Nagios, perhaps they
can do this for you or have some other way of giving you access to it,
might already be installed.

Shell access with no root/privileges is like a strip club that abide
the laws. You get really excited and keep trying but eventually you
just go home frustrated.

If I want to install a program on a shared Debian host (where I

is shell into my account and "make install" each program I want?

For example, I just got Dreamhost and would like to configure Nagios on
it to monitor many hosts in different locations.
