passive host - distributed monitoring

[Hendrik Baecker]

Hi Marco,

sorry for late answer. I have to wait for today to test this on a nagios2.x.

Seems that you are right about the TAC.

I've made a Screenshot for others on this list on

http://process-zero.de/nagiosscr/tac-pas-act-problems.png

Since that the information that active checks are disabled is mentionend
under "Monitoring Features" I would suggest to not differ between
enabled / disabled active checks under "Services".

@List: Any thoughts about this?

This FAQ entry is AFAIK obsolete since there have been changes to
freshness between nagios 2.? and 2.? (sorry, can't remember the
subreleases).

service check should not run, and be rescheduled, it does not work in
this way.
