cfg_dir recursion not working

[Dr. Dave Blunt]

Indeed the files I want to include are all
/usr/local/nagios/etc/rps/*/*.cfg.  There are other files in those subdirs
such as tar.gz files.

It's SuSE ES 9 and /usr/include/dirent.h is present.  :(

I suppose the files all match the glob(3) pattern
/usr/local/nagios/etc/rps/*/*.cfg
Otherwise, that's possibly the issue right there.

Are you running this on a Solaris or AIX platform? I think recursion 
only works on system that has the <dirent.h> header file, and that one 
isn't present on all unices.
