Sort of, yes. Logs and configuration needs to be updated. I wrote a couple of
scripts for doing just that once, but I'm afraid they're lost to me now. I
know I submitted them to the list though, and many people reported they had
used them successfully.

Someone (I've forgotten who) also posted a patch to one of the scripts which
fixed some minor issue.

I'd suggest going through the mailing list archives from around the time when
nagios-2.05b came out to find the original scripts. When you have them, search
the archives from 2007 for the names of the scripts and you should be able
to find the patch.

It's not a big panic if you don't find the patch, as the scripts work withouth
them. I've forgotten what it was it fixed, but afair it wasn't anything show-
stopping.

Good luck
