Acknowledgement of passive services disappear when Nagios restarted

Hi All!

We have Nagios 3.0.1 with a number of passive services. When the go
critical, we aknowledge them and then restart Nagios or simply tell it
to reread the configuration with "killall -HUP nagios", the
acknowledgements for the passive services disappear. The acknowledgement
for active service are retained.

On the one hand this seems like a bug to me as it should not make any
difference whether it is an active or passive service. However, active
and passive service are intrinsically different, so there may be some
logic to this (which I seem to be missing). 

In nagios.cfg, I have the following values:

retain_state_information=1
use_retained_program_state=1
use_retained_scheduling_info=1
retained_host_attribute_mask=0
retained_service_attribute_mask=0
retained_process_host_attribute_mask=0
retained_process_service_attribute_mask=0
retained_contact_host_attribute_mask=0
retained_contact_service_attribute_mask=0

I would appreaciate any info.

Regards,

Jim Mohr
