Re NSCA

[Kevin Keane]

OK, a couple of things to look at:

- nagios.cmd is supposed to always be 0 bytes. It's not a file but a socket.
- How did you define the ocsp command?
- When you execute the OCSP command manually what happens? Do you see 
anything in the central server's logs? Note: make sure to run as user 
"nagios" rather than root.
- write a short script that simply echos its command line to the file 
/tmp/nicks_nsca_debug.log . Use this script as the OCSP command. Restart 
Nagios. Watch what happens with this file - it should tell you whether 
the distributed Nagios server even calls the OCSP command.
