Parents on ubuntu

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

There is a much newer version of Nagios available, plus the version 
you've reported appears to a CVS export, not a stable release.
Try downloading and compiling 2.6 from www.nagios.org and try again - 
note you will possibly need to adjust your configs to suit Nagios 2.x, 
but not by much.

Note you are also including "u" in your notification_options for the 
host - this means that if the host is unreachable (ie. parent hosts are 
down) you will still get a notification.
I'd set "notification_options d,r" in your generic-host template and 
remove the override per host.

Regards

Andy
