> Service definitions for nagios to check.

Yup I realized that. I think there was a similar thread on the archives 
where someone mentioned that Nagios doesn't check host without services. 
So I defined 5 services on the localhost. But it was always in Pending 
state. Also there was another suggestion to go ahead and disable all 
service checks and then reenable them through the interface. That didn't 
work either.

Nope, as I said earlier, services on itself were not being checked. Here 
are the details (all of them are modified version of sample configs that 
come with fresh install of Nagios v2.0b3 and Nagios-plugin v1.4 on Redhat 
7.3):

Host:

define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host 
template to use

        alias                   moya
