Nagios 2 doesn't support a max_attempts directive for hosts and all 
passive host check results will immediately force the host into a HARD 
state.  This has changed a bit in Nagios 3 - hosts do have a 
max_attempts directive, but passive results still put the host into a 
HARD state.

Hope that helps.
