notifications problem - sending to the wrong contacts

[Kyle Powell]

Hi all,

I've been using Nagios for about a year now with no problems, but am 
suddenly having a notifications problem that I can't figure out.  Nagios is 
sending notifications to the wrong people, even though everything looks 
right in the config files and in the Nagios web interface configs.

This problem is occurring for many hosts, but I will attach samples of the 
config files for one host.  This host is the only member of a test host 
group, and that host group is configured to send notifications to only one 
contact group.  The contact group has two users - kpowell & czhang, but when 
the device is shut down, kpowell and two other users are notified!  I can't 
figure out why this is happening or what change might have been made to 
cause this problem.

One thread that looked like it might be related mentioned a possible problem 
with state retention - it is not being used.  The same thread warned of the 
possibility of multiple instances of Nagios running - this also is not 
happening.

Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in 
advance,
Kyle
