REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Kevin Keane]

I would suggest that you use grep to be sure you really caught all 
configuration files (grep -ri "check_dns" /etc/nagios3).

My guess, though - just a hunch - is that you may be accidentally 
including the same file twice in your nagios.cfg. For instance, you may 
have explicitly specified it in nagios.cfg, and it may also get 
automatically included because it is in the conf.d directory.

Another possibility is that the directory structures of the old and new 
nagios servers don't match, and you somehow ended up with two separate 
command.cfg files.
