Instead of initiating a new string value, strtok continues were it left of with its previous non-NULL value and returns true bogus crap. In rare occations this resuts in a "zombie" host/ service with a strange random name. I've been really confused by configurations that pass the verification (nagios -v ..), but fail on nagios startup. Nasty! The attached patch makes sure that strtok is never called with a NULL value for host/service group members. Please include or comment. Thanks in adv /S-G ______________________________________________ Sven-Göran Bergh Systemasis AB </div> </body></html>
