I did make a very minor alteration in the config file where I keep the
info for the Solaris machines... and I mean very minor, changed a
description for one machine. I find it difficult to believe I managed to
foul that up somehow but will of course re-check.

I did, of course, do the -v run before posting to the mailgroup to make
sure Nagios wasn't choking on the config files and that went well, but I
guess I'd better take a more thorough look at that config file just to
make sure.

I do see "logged in as kimmoj" in Nagios, and Nagios does demand that I
log in and use a name/password combo that's valid.

Thanks, I'll re-check the config file and see if I can find the problem.
