Strange behavior of checks?

[Jan Scholten]

I have the following trouble: My host gets checked without a service in a critical state. than all 
host checks are fired in 20 seconds.. is it possible to state somewhere to do the retry check after 
10 Seconds instead of 3 so a retry_check_interval for hosts checks?

TRhe other thing is: it's lying to my:
View alert History on Service SSH or SMTP is blank (even if they are shown in the alert history for 
the host (see below).
Next question why are the services HARD;1; even if the are defined (and shown in the webinterface 
with 3 rechecks?)
