Host assumed to be up?

Just wanted to close this off -- my problem was that in my generic_host
template, I had checks_enabled set to 0. I am using Nagmin to do the
configuration and I think it is set to 0 by default and I didn't catch
it.
I still need to bring down a server to see what it does but I think this
will solve my problem.

The machine was not responding to pings in any way -- the DSL link was
down so I would have thought it would be indicated as 'down'. I'll take
a closer look at it and post some more config info once I have access to
the monitoring station again. We are doing some upgrades to it right
now.

Norm,
The "check-host-alive" is a ping command. Does your machine still
respond to pings, even though all the services are down? If need be,
change the check command to check_ssh, check_http, whatever the Service
check is using.
