Adjusting time interval for max_check_attempts

[DeBattista, Joe]

Hi,

     I running nagios 2.5 (yes, I know it's old) and I'm trying to
figure out how to adjust the interval time when a host check notices a
problem.  I currently have my max_check_attempts in my host definition
set to 10, and when that host goes down, it seems to only have a 3
second interval on its checking, so the 10 checks take only 30 seconds
before switching from a SOFT state to HARD, and sending out a
notification.  I know there's an retry_check_interval option for service
definitions, but didn't see an equivalent for the host definitions.  I
looked in nagios.cfg and didn't see anything there.  I'd like to adjust
this so that it waits about 60 seconds between each check.  Thanks.
