Disable host checks

[Tedman Eng]

First off, could you describe the troubleshooting steps that led you to
conclude you needed to disable host checks?  That's a drastic measure to
take and produces many undesirable side effects.


Without a host check command, there's nothing to reset the host state to
"Host UP", so it will stay in the previous state recorded.

If you cannot ping a host, but it is providing SOME sort of reachable
network service, you should still define a host test of some sort (use
check_tcp).  "Host Check" in Nagios is a synonym for "Reachability Test".
