Still about logs in Nagios

[Rivanor P. Soares]

About my last post, other interesting details:

This morning I started to run arpwatch to discover new hosts in the LAN.
Now, looking at my logs I can see the following things:

--
root at gerenciamento /usr/local/nagios/var -> ls -lh
....
-rw-rw-r--    1 nagios   nagios        14M* Jul 14 14:19 service-perfdata.out
....
--
* 14MB from service-perfdata.out. This is not normal, is it?

And more: I noticed that the '/var/log/messages' are strangely "entering" in my 'nagios.log'
Some output from 'nagios.log':
Jul 14 11:19:16 gerenciamento arpwatch: bogon 10.21.158.1 40:0:82:10:18:18
Jul 14 11:19:17 gerenciamento arpwatch: new station 10.21.200.90 0:2:55:4c:62:2e
Jul 14 11:19:18 gerenciamento arpwatch: bogon 10.21.158.70 0:0:b4:43:48:e7

In 'nagios.log' there's logs about sendmail, and everything else from '/var/log/messages' too.
This shouldn't be only in '/var/log/messages'?

Now, _please_, someone has any, ANY idea about is going on.

Thank you so much.
