Nagios isn't ready for prime time

[Adam Emery]

I thought this same thing for a while but if you run make install-config in
ver 1.x it will install those files as *.sample.  all a person has to do is
rename removing the .sample.  once that is done it is very simple for a
basic configuration.  I myself am still working on the more advanced stuff
but getting it up and running if you follow the docs step by step takes less
than 30 minutes (depending on the speed of the machine).  2.x is a bit
different and I haven't had much luck with it but I will start that project
again once I get my test machine back up.

First I want to say that the Nagios documentation is very good.
But expecting a new to Nagios person to build the object config files
is so time consuming and not understanding a lot of what is required in 
cfg files.
Why not put the object cfg files in Nagios as the app is compiled.
For a IT person first being subjected to Negios , the time factor is to 
much.
I know I'm going to get blasted for  my statement , but  I'm not trying 
to be nasty, but constructive.
I know Nagios will be a very worthwhile app. in the future and I truly 
look forward to it, as a radicle
Linux user.
