error when including resource.cfg

[Andrew Edwards]

I get the same result if I use the resource.cfg-sample provide with the
install.

$ nagios -v /usr/local/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Nagios 3.0.2

Reading configuration data...

Error: Unexpected token or statement in file
'/usr/local/etc/nagios/resource.cfg' on line 26.

# You can define $USERx$ macros in this file, which can in turn be used
# in command definitions in your host config file(s).  $USERx$ macros
are
# useful for storing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords,
# etc.  They are also handy for specifying the path to plugins and
# event handlers - if you decide to move the plugins or event handlers
to
# a different directory in the future, you can just update one or two
# $USERx$ macros, instead of modifying a lot of command definitions.
#
# The CGIs will not attempt to read the contents of resource files, so
# you can set restrictive permissions (600 or 660) on them.
#
# Nagios supports up to 32 $USERx$ macros ($USER1$ through $USER32$)
#
# Resource files may also be used to store configuration directives for
# external data sources like MySQL...

I suggest you look for typos, misspelled macros, leading and trailing
spaces in there... Otherwise make a copy of it with non-sensitive data,
verify it still breaks and send it over (as attachment) for inspection.
