Hi Joerg,

I believe, but may be wrong, that cgi.cfg and resource.cfg need to be
specified in the nagios.cfg file and need to be (usually) in the same
folder as nagios.cfg

It is possible to have more than one resource.cfg file. I think only one
cgi.cfg is possible though.

The configuration files that you may put in the 'cfg_dir' directories
are those for definitions, i.e. check commands, notifications, services,
hosts, etc...

Thanks

Giles
