Reset alerts from passive service checks

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Sir,

This may be dealt with comprehensively in the superb docco for 
integrating nagios/neysaint with Net-SNMP (eg
http://your_host/nagios/docs/int-snmptrap.html
).

The principle is that all service definitions need a check command_line 
but in fact this command_line is __never__ run.

Make this command_line a check that always returns true (eg check_dummy
or check_ping with appropriate args for the location of the source of
the traps) and then all that's necessary is to force a service check.
