Seems like you need to do a 'nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg' here to
see what it tells you.

For what it's worth, I had posted a 'nagios via rpm' how-to type walk
through and sample configs including templates at
http://www.cognitive-dissonance.org/journal/category/nagios/  and as I
get time I'll be adding more. Right now it covers the basics of
installing the rpms, and setting nagios up with a host & service
template and setup for monitoring a host and webserver. I'm open to
any comments/corrections or suggestions for future posts.
