Passive checks only, how to realy disable active checks without nagios complaining about.

Hi all

After managing to solve the problem on how to submit passive checks from 
plugins on remote hosts via NSCA I run in a new problem...

I have to define a check_command even for passive checks but disable active 
checks. (So i used the check_dummy 3 plugin)
Of course I use the frehsness options.

Now nagios dislays nasty red messages that active checks are disabled.
Is there a way to tell nagios that it's OK that they are disabled and not show 
them so users could get the idea of enabling them?

Is there a way to disable the possibility to enable active checks via the web 
GUI for checks that should only be submitted passively? 

The last problem I get is that after the freshness tereshold has expired, 
according to the docs, nagios dies a forced active check of the service, 
which is quite useless as it just uses a dummy check command (which can 
return 'Unknown', but that only helps a little).

Regards
