Obsessing over Obsessing...

[Jason Marshall]

This is an old reply -- I had to go across the continent for a wedding, so
I couldn't reply right away.

I'm using Solaris 8, not RedHat anything...

> What version of RedHat are you using? I am currently trying to get a
> distributed setup going myself with RedHat 8.0 boxes and am having the same

> Also, I noted a discrepancy in the documentation on the ocsp command. In the
> distributed server documentation, it says the ocsp command is run after
> every service check. However, the nagios.cfg documentation says that it is
> only run after event handlers or notifications...
