Hi Brian,

While I appreciate your reply I have absolutely no idea what you said. 
As I mentioned earlier I'm a complete noobie when it comes to Nagios. 
I.e. this is my first time ever exposure to this system. i've been all 
over the config file and I can't find anywhere where it would appear you 
could set the ports services run on for a given host.

Do they even exist?

Mark
