error when including resource.cfg

[Andrew Edwards]

I have in my nagios.cfg

cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/common
cfg_dir=/usr/local/etc/nagios/objects/mfg

but I do not include any parent dir's only these.  I then tried copying
the resource.cfg file into the commond dir and I get the same problem.

Are there caviates to using the cfg_dir directive?  I used to have
relatively large config files (80-100k) and I've found it very usefull
to break these up into many smaller files and I could include these one
by one but it's very handy to use the cfg_dir.  I do need my $USERx$
macros's so how can I work-around this problem?

Have you, by any chance, told Nagios to load all files in
/usr/local/etc/nagios using the cfg_dir directive, or told it to load it
using the cfg_file directive rather than the resource_file one? That
would cause the error you're seeing.
