Nagios-1.1 config file parsing bug

[Florian.Kirchmeir at infineon.com]

Uhm, not that easy either:
The data collected via Nagios is written back to the database, so we need to
keep the object names the same.
We would have to add an entire layer of object name re-writing, just to work
around a trivial bug.

Anyways, thanks for your suggestion!

Regards,
Florian Kirchmeir

In the while you can substitute spaces with underscores while creating 
configuration file (just patch your script that imports configuration 
from DB).

Hope to be of help.
