Enable/Disable Notifications

[Cook, Garry]

I have an odd problem. I've setup Nagios 1.1 on RH9, and I converted
NetSaint 0.0.7 config files from the production RH7.3 system. I'm
running them side by side, but did not want to send notifications until
I was sure that everything was converted properly. Rather than disable
host/service notifications from the tac.cgi web page, I did it in the
config files, by setting the generic-host and generic-service templates'
notifications_enabled parameters to '0'. Since these are the base
templates used throughout all hosts and services, this value propagated
throughout the system, effectively disabling all notifications. This is
exactly what I expected/wanted.

However, upon changing these two parameters back to '1', to enable
notifications, all notifications are still disabled. I have restarted
the nagios, restarted the system, and even attempted to disable/enable
notifications from tac.cgi. None of this works.

The only way that I have found to re-enable notifications is
individually, per host. Any ideas as to why this might be the case?
