Semi-Distributed Monitoring - Checks from both main and remote servers

[Ritchie, Josiah S.]

I have recently setup a remote nagios service to pass passive commands
to my main server that also does some monitoring for itself. The remote
services are bouncing up and down because both servers are doing checks
and the main one can't get to it so reports "Critical".

I setup as directed in the documentation (nagios version1). Maybe I
missed something, but it all looks right to me.

I have the main server setup with the remote service checks to accept
passive checks and active checks are disabled using:

Active_checks_enabled 0

I have this in both an unregistered service template and in the service
itself (as a troubleshooting measure).

I confirmed, using tcpdump, that the main server is sending out the
checks.

I have restarted nagios several times.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
JSR/
