You shouldn't need to install Nagios on every host you want to check with NRPE. NRPE should only require the nagios-plugins and some Perl items. I'm not much help for Debian or Gentoo, but I use CentOS with RPM packages. Through RPM I install nagios-nrpe and some of the dependencies are: Dependencies Resolved Transaction Listing: Install: nagios-nrpe.i386 0:2.5.1-1.el4.rf - dag Performing the following to resolve dependencies: Install: fping.i386 0:2.4-1.b2.2.el4.rf - dag Install: nagios-plugins.i386 0:1.4.2-1.2.el4.rf - dag Install: perl-Crypt-DES.i386 0:2.05-3.2.el4.rf - dag Install: perl-Digest-HMAC.noarch 0:1.01-13 - base Install: perl-Digest-SHA1.i386 0:2.07-5 - base Install: perl-Net-SNMP.noarch 0:5.2.0-1.2.el4.rf - dag Install: perl-Socket6.i386 0:0.19-1.2.el4.rf - dag The main Nagios packages isn't required to install NRPE in my case. I know I'm being a little vague for your OS, but you should only need the plugins items, and whatever pieces they are dependent on.
