Status display errors

[Aaron Carr]

Ok, so I'm back at work now, and I've checked the services showing
bogus status colors on the web page.

I ran the commands as the nagios user from the nagios server via ssh
(the same way they're being done by the server), and at the completion
of each command, I checked the exit status.  All of them were status
0, so it appears that the plugins are working correctly.

What could be causing the status color on the web page to be doing
this?  Should I downgrade back to 2.0b3?

Thanks.

Aaron
