Fail error message - more interesting

[Hegedus, Ervin]

Hello,

there is a setting to check VPN firewall (other side)
yes, w2k host is a child of VPN.

here is the host config again:
...
	host_name               NIKE2000
        parents                 NIKEVPN01
        alias                   NIKE2000
        address			195.56.106.10
...

of course, i know it - there are configured all hosts, but no one
has configured for service.

yes, i think about this will my next step.

okay, i will try it.

(a simple question: is there this step somewhere in docs?)
