Great idea to always have a lab system around if you are using Nagios
in a production environment, we keep a dev and test environment
available just for this purpose, so we can break, test, etc, as
needed.

You can even use VMWare or Cygwin for this purpose.

Should have been no waiting at all here for your answer, and your
question was poorly worded , you gave no indication that you were a
one env shop or anything of the like ... so it came off as laziness.

While in the past there have been many times where I did not care at
all for Andreas' behavior on the lists, it seems recently he has
really changed his approach, and I think his answer was perfectly
appropriate and it was even polite to boot.
