Host Check 'check_tcp' not found!

[Leonardo Henrique Machado]

Hi all,

I have the same problem. I need to ping some hsots that have 
invalid 
IPs. Soh I created a check_ping_192.168.0.2 that should be used with nrpe.

The problem is that:

check_command check_nrpe!check_ping_192.168.0.2

does not work in host definition, but does in services definition. There 
must be a good reason for it... or not?
Why check_commands in host definitions cannot receive arguments!!!???

In my opinion it's a bug. And it's easy to solve.
