Regex in host escalations not working.

[Andrew Laden]

Nagios 2.0b4 On Linux.

I am trying to use hostescalations. Using a wildcard. It doesn't like it.
Any idea why?

I have the following. (with line numbers)

      9 define hostescalation{
     10         host_name  *
     11         contact_groups  sysops-helpdesk
     12         first_notification      2
     13         last_notification       2
     14         notification_interval   30 
     15 }


When I run nagios -v I get the following..
----------------
# ./nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc_new/nagios-new.cfg

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not find any host matching '*'
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in host escalation
(config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc_new/host-escalations.cfg', starting on
line 9)
------------------
In my nagios config 
use_regexp_matching=1
use_true_regexp_matching=0

Thanks
