Too stupid? Services are available, but nagios reports host to be down!

[Heiko Schlittermann]

Hello,

(using 3.0.1)

I've a list of hosts, these hosts are not available for ping, but normal
service checks (SSH, SMTP, ...) work. Nagios reports theses hosts beeing
down! Ugly!

If I remember well, older nagios versions "knew" that's enough to see
one service on a host to know this host has to be up.

The host check_command is the normale 'check-host-alive' (which is
pinging), the check_interval is 0 -- why does nagios want to check that
host?

The check_command is inherited from some template, if I try to override
it with no value, nagios complains: 

Error: Host check command '(null)' specified for host 'diwi/diw' is not defined anywhere


So - please, could anybody point to my stupidity?

Thanks.
