Hello,

Thanks for your your reply. I am sure I did a "make
install; make install-config". I double checked what i did
with history | grep install-config. And it was there.

But this time I did it again and watch the output more
carefully,

*** Sample config file installed ***

Remember, these are *SAMPLE* config files.  You'll need to
read
the documentation for more information on how to actually
define
services, hosts, etc. to fit your particular needs.

If you have questions about configuring Nagios properly,
please:
       - Look at the sample config files
       - Read the HTML documentation
       - Read the FAQs online at
http://www.nagios.org/faqs
*BEFORE* you post a question to one of the mailing lists.

As you can see, some critical files were not copied:


timeperiods.cfg
dependencies.cfg
hosts.cfg
hostgroups.cfg
contacts.cfg
contactgroups.cfg

Where I can get samples for these files?
