Errors in my log since upgrade to 2.1

[Gabriel Matthews]

Nothing that I see has anything to do with nagios.. a few errors about 
smbd looking for a cups printer, that's about it.

I don't see any memory usage errors, either.. although, where would that 
be logged?  Also, how do I know what the maximum number of processes is 
for the nagios user?

Forgive my ignorance, I'm no linux-master.
