My consideration was that then I'd only be able to check one database,
the one that password fits.
But I only HAVE one database right now, so this works; thank you.

Yup.  I am not going to ask why $USER4$ works in checkcommands.cfg but
not in services.cfg. :)
Looking at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/macros.html it seems
like the $USERn$ macros should work across the board, but I guess it
refers to Nagios internal processes rather than configuration files.

Thanks!

Now on to add more modules...

Happily,
