Hi all, I seem to be having a lot of problems with nagios and need some advise 
on setting me the right path again. 

Problem 1 :

I have enabled freshness checking on my main central server.  
Whenever services are down, my main central server seems to be doing active 
checking on those hosts that are supposed to be passive. It is not supposed 
to do it at all. These host status are supposed to be reported back by 
distributed monitoring servers. And, I realised that the problem lies in the 
default check-host-alive which is configured to be check_ping. However, by 
removing the whole host check_command it means that the host is always assume 
to be up. Which I dont want that, because I stll want to be able to know if 
passive hosts are down. So what should I do? 

Problem 2: [ In reference to Dennis Cannell's post to nagios-users mail on 
setting Initial state of passive services]

How do you schedule passive services to be on 'no-time-periods' to work around 
the  "disabled" indicator in TAC overview? I have configured under each 
passive services definition in the check_period to be set to 'none'  
<timeperiod_name> . Is this how you do it?
