passive check configuration problems

[Marc Powell]

I don't believe that you can have a space in a service description. I'd be wary of the ':' too.

	Hi list,
	
	I am having some trouble getting passive alerts working properly. My
	setup consists of lrrd sending notifications to nsca daemon. This part
	works correctly. Originally I would see the alert come through the
	nagios log, but would not receive a notification. I now receive a
	notification, but it does not contain the proper information. (see
	below). Could someone point out what I have incorrectly set up in my
	service configuration? (also below) I am looking to have the alerts
	return the proper status information, and I am curious as to why nagios
	reports that the service can not be found.
	
	Thanks for the help.
