Hi Andreas,
its me again ;)

Now running on git HEAD dc2caf36

i use customized path to object_cache_file and log_file inside of nagios.cfg

----
OMD[ng4]:~$ grep objects.cache tmp/nagios/nagios.cfg 
object_cache_file=/omd/sites/ng4/var/nagios/objects.cache

OMD[ng4]:~$ grep nagios.log tmp/nagios/nagios.cfg 
log_file=/omd/sites/ng4/var/nagios/nagios.log
----

But nagios uses the default locations out of include/locations.h

----
OMD[ng4]:~$ ./bin/nagios  /omd/sites/ng4/tmp/nagios/nagios.cfg

Some events are written to /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log and later to the correct location /omd/sites/ng4/var/nagios/nagios.log
Also /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache is created but never updated
