I have gone through the motions of commenting out references to them in the services file located in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects directory. Even though the clients are no longer being monitored, they are still showing up as being down. What other steps do I need to take in order to correct this problem? Thanks. <pre> The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
