[naemon-users] naemon 1.0.3 and inheritance of servicedependencies

[Schimpke, Dr. Thomas - bhn]

Hi Scott,

the second dependency simply inherits the first (that'S why there is 
"use dependSnmpdCordelia..."). It works fine with nagios. 
Anyway...I can work around it. I just wanted the developers/ndreas to
know, that there might be an issue with inheritance. But it could also
be intended...

Cheers,

Thomas
