Nagios Logos

[Rich West]

Bahhhh!  I just went back and checked the xedtemplate_config_file 
variable, and saw that it _looked_ correct.  So, thinking I did 
something stuipid, I copied and pasted "xedtemplate_config_file" into 
the cgi.cfg file to make sure I spelled it right (which I did), then I 
checked to see if the hostextinfo.cfg file existed at the location I had 
specified (/etc/hostextinfo.cfg).

Nope.. it was at /etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg.  Duh!  Now I feel dumb.  
Once I fixed that, it all worked.

I don't know why the extended host information did not work when 
specified in-line in the cgi.cfg file since the comments within the 
cgi.cfg file showed ways to do the proper definitions in-line as opposed 
to a seperate file, but, alas, I am beyond caring since it does work now. :)

Thanks for all of the help!  And, as expected, it was something simple!  
I was defining the hostextinfo within the cgi.cfg file instead of in a 
seperate file, and when I did do it in the seperate file, I had the path 
to that file wrong. :)
