heres an updated one for 1.4.2

I didn't modify any of the files in the zabbix-1.4.2.tar.gz.

You just need to do a rpmbuild -ba /path/to/zabbix.spec

built on a centos 5 machine with all yum updates applied. Has been compiled and then tested on fedora core 7 and centos 4. Statically linked libs probably make this rpm a little more versatile.

Make sure you change the variables to suit your own purposes

and change the server name! once you do a rpm -i /path/to/zabbix_agentd-1.4.2-1.i386.rpm it will install the zabbix agent, start the service and do a service zabbix_agentd status as well. For quick deployment, try to have everything configured before building.

Code:
