Distributed nagios problem - service definition not found!

[Jan Scholten]

Can you supply the relevant part of services.cfg?

It seems you have a misconfiguration. Are you sure the service is Check  
Host Alive and not PING (like default)?
I don't know whether Nagios likes a servie_name with a blank, so try it  
without!
So the return value ServiceName("Check Host Alive" in your case) must be  
the same  as your service_description in the services.cfg for that host.
