NAgios Setup errors

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

This is a bit speculative, so if you find a better answer, go with that.  Here are a couple things to try:

1) Check the hostgroup definition paragraph for hidden/special characters.  (In vi, ":set list".)

2) Try simplifying the hostname to one without dots (just as an experiment) in both the hosts.cfg and hostgroups.cfg files.

Restart nagios and see if that's any different.
