Conversely, I don't _think_ there's anything about the recursion code 
that is OS-specific.  Then again, I've only ever run it on Linux.  Have 
a look in xdata/xodtemplate.c:258 if you want to the relevant code.

Ditto.  I'm running Nagios 2.x on RHEL3/4/5, and cfg_dir recursion works 
with empty subdirs just fine, e.g.:

cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/servers <- an empty dir, with multiple subdirs 
beneath that contain multiple files w/ .cfg extensions.  Works even if 
that dir does contain .cfg files.

Well, since Jo said it works when pointing explictly to the subdirs (and 
verified the dir perms), I don't think either of these is the problem.

Jo, could you cut and paste your relevant configuration bits for 
enabling the cfg_dir / cfg_file directives?
