hi eduard,

the hosts.conf is used for placing all the 
define host{ 
...
}
entries. So you define the hosts nagios has to check there. See 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host .

However. The config is splitted for structuring purposes only. So the 
cfg_file entries in 
nagios.cfg are only included, which means, that host entries can defined 
in every of these files.

What does "osts.conf of linux mean"? the /etc/hosts? /etc/hosts has 
nothing to do with nagios.

hope i could help a bit.
matthias
