Dear Steve,

  Thank you for your reply.

  I do have USER1 set in my resource.cfg:

nagios at mynode$ grep USER1 resource.cfg
# Nagios supports up to 32 $USERx$ macros ($USER1$ through $USER32$)
# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec
nagios at mynode$

However this does not seem to be getting passed along.  I've resorted
to replacing $USER1$ with /usr/local/nagios/libexec in my
checkcommands.cfg which got me to the next stage (check_http is now
working and I am playing with configuring additional plug-ins).

I don't think it will hurt me that I've bypassed the macro.  If I am
mistaken, please let me know.

Truly,
-at
