Hosts.cfg question, service configuration question, ldapv3

[Jack Doyle]

You should also define a ping service for the host.  I have several
hosts with just one service, and if that service goes down it considers
the host to be down for some reason... so I decided to add a ping
service, too... now if say telnet goes down, or web server, it will not
list the host as being down.
 
don't ask. :)

	Define "smart". If any service on the host is down, the host
itself appears to be marked down. This is not an accurate assessment of
the problem. Example: I turned off the ldap service on an ldap system.
The service detail view correctly shows that the service is down. The
host detail view incorrectly says the host is down. The host itself is
fine.

	This is an undocumented feature of the service function then?

	host_name: This directive is used to specify the short name of
the host that the service "runs" on or is associated with. 

	There is no hostgroup_name directive listed, nor does it say
that you can comma separate this list.

	Okay. :)
