Hi,

Today I decided to get my hands dirty and try my biggest Nagios server's
config running on Nagios 3. So far the process went pretty smoothly and
I'm quite impressed about the performance (All tweaks enabled), but I
noticed the following things:

1. In the main Nagios config file:

# STATUS FILE UPDATE INTERVAL
# Combined with the aggregate_status_updates option,
# this option determines the frequency (in seconds) that
# Nagios will periodically dump program, host, and
# service status data.

- -> aggregate_status_updates doesn't exit anymore. This comment should be
changed.

2. Nagios Makefiles:
I expected Nagios wouldn't overwrite the config files if they were
present, apparently it overwrites them (I unfortunately learned that the
hard way, thankfully only cgi.cfg and nagios.cfg got overwritten since
all the rest have custom names from my v2 config).

Any chances that it writes the configs as "name.cfg-sample" or something
like that then the file already exists? I know it creates backups, but
due to an unrelated issue I re-installed it twice (so the backups got
overwritten.


So far Nagios 3 looks awesome :)
