problem with services file.

[Michael T. Halligan]

= 1) I've never had any problems with using tabs in object definitions.  If
= anything, I make sure my config files have tabs.  I'd be curious to know
= what error Michael had (and the usual version of Nagios/platform/etc).
= Regardless, if you prefer spaces, then use spaces.

I realize now that the errors I have weren't with using tabs in
object definitions per se, but when putting tabs in front of comments.
When correcting this, removing that leading tab, there's no problem.

So, if I have an entry in a file that says
	# This begins a definition

upon an /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios restart

I'll receive this error :
