What is the preferred 3rd party nagios configfile tool

[Jan Scholten]

Fair enough..
But i responded to a mail were you mentioned Nagedit as a nagios  
Configfile tool which i can't recommend (in the current version). I'm  
waiting for updates quite long, but now i don't really care, as i am  
nearly finished with my nagios project. It would have been nice to if it  
was working but vi worked fine too. I'm only disappointed, that You try to  
help write emails, corrected sourcecode and mention errors and instead of  
fixing that it's only *noticed it, will fix in next version thats coming  
soon* that's about 2 month ago.. There have been several Versions of  
Nagvis in between, so there has been time. He should have mentioned: will  
not fix, cause i don't need. That would be fine but.. well who cares (me i  
think).

Cheers
