On the machine receiving the checks --

 active_checks_enabled 0 
 passive_checks_enabled 1

_or_

 active_checks_enabled 1 
 passive_checks_enabled 1
 check_period  none

Each will yeild the same results but display differently in the web
interface. In the former, each service will have a big red X indicating
that active checks are disabled. It's not present in the latter. I
haven't been able to determine any real functional difference between
the two different methods and routinely use the latter example.
