Lame service dependency

[Daniel Budde II]

I am testing my startup of nagios and I am getting a "Warning: Ignoring lame
service dependency (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg',
line #" for every dependency I have created.  Basically I have created a
ping that pings each host server.

Then, for the webserver I am doing an individual HTTP check to each IP
address of every site on the server.  I have made these dependent upon the
successful server ping so that if the server itself is ever down I only get
the one message from not being able to ping it.

Can anyone help me out with why I am getting the message and if there is a
better way I should be doing this?

I have added a sample of my first three lines of services and their
dependencies:

################ services #########################

define service{
	name			service_template
	max_check_attempts	5
	normal_check_interval	1
	retry_check_interval	1
	check_period		all_the_time
	notification_interval	0
	notification_period	all_the_time
	notification_options	w,u,c,r
	contact_groups		emergency
	register		0
}

define service{
	use			service_template
	host_name		IT-WEBSERVER
	service_description	is-IT-WEB-alive
	check_command		check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
