William,

I tried your patch (on v2.5) but I get an error (see below).
Have you got an idea?

$ patch -p1 < nagios25-largerbuffers.patch
patching file include/common.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 379 (offset -11 lines).
patching file include/objects.h
Hunk #2 FAILED at 55.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/objects.h.rej
patching file p1.pl


Ethan,

Is there a date for the v3.0 beta?
Or have you got an idea if this could be in days, weeks or months?

Maybe I can do some coding to help.


I also looked at nagios-db but it does not seem to evolve frequently.
Any of you has already tried it?


Regards,
