Sorry, due to an error on my mail server, this didn't get through first
time round.
Hi,
Found the cause of this: the pre-flight check isn't working correctly
(see output below) which caused the confusion (the errors were
off-screen in my terminal window, and I mistakenly trusted the "Total
Warnings: 0, Total Errors: 0" bit!!
I've copied in nagios-devel to report this (also confirmed the same with
today's CVS build.) Note that the servicegroup "Server_Info" does *not*
exist (I mistakenly removed it a few days ago), so the pre-flight check
should report it as an error, but it doesn't.
Nagios 3.0b4
