Definitely strange. This is complaining about a completely different  
and unrelated thing. Does the template 'linux-server' exist ('name  
linux-server')? Is it in the same file as the host definition you are  
trying to add?
	- If so, are you accidentally breaking that definition, removing the  
final } perhaps or something like that?
	- If not, is the file it is in specified as a cfg_file in nagios.cfg  
or in a cfg_dir? If cfg_file, what is the load order (not sure it  
matters though but might be interesting).
		- Does it help you move it to the top of the load order?
