Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, r etry_interval, or notification_interval value for service 'Port Scans'on host 'gate'

yes, i think that you are fine.  Where do you see a "P"?  i am guessing that
this means pending, which is the expected state.

hi , thx for your input.

Im trying to setup a sensor for Portsentry (which runs on our gateway)

as per Nagios Dokumentation:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/int-portsentry.html

Now I just inserted a cmd (check_procs) and set check_period to none.
Now I see a big "P" next to the service on the Nagios page. Hope thats
ok, im gonna try a portscan now
