That usually means that there is a problem with your config file. Try Nagios -v -c /path/to/config it will tell you what the problem is.

We are running RH9 with all updates We tried running RPM packages as well, tried different install configure prefix commands. Appears our *.cfg files are right.... Seems there are a few users, from searching the net, that have the same problem, but cannot seem to find a resolution. Thanks for your help in advance.
