%That is correct.

%
%For Nagios 1.x he gets notified if he's in a contactgroup

%For Nagios 2.x he gets notified if he's in a contactgroup 
%connected to the particular host object itself. Hostgroups are 
%for prettiness in Nagios 2.x, and doesn't fill any logical 
%function what so ever.

%> What if I had a user that I dont want him to be able to see

%
%Don't add that particular user to the htpasswd file (or

%

%
%All of them are checked. If any of them say "don't notify", 
%nagios doesn't. This is true for timeperiods and 
%notification_options as well.
%
%> Thx!
