Problems with 3.0b5 init script?

Thanks, Hendrik -- yes, that is what I was thinking, too. I assume  
this is a change from the 2.x branch, in which case it might be wise  
to have nagios 3.x read resources.cfg only after dropping its root  
privileges to explicitly force people to correct this. (I.e., prevent  
nagios from running at all as opposed to potentially running for a  
long time and then acting weird.)

best,
Jeff
